BFAIR Launches Bites by BFAIR Concession Stand at Windsor Lake
May 23, 2023 (North Adams, MA) – BFAIR Launches Bites by BFAIR Concession Stand at Windsor Lake.
Since 2016, BFAIR has served the community with quick snacks for their day at the beach. After a brief pause in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is coming back this season with fresh faces and a new menu. Bites by BFAIR will be run by students in the Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) program offering various options, including hot dogs, chili, nachos, sweet treats, and more.
The Pre-ETS program is intended to support students in developing the skills needed to obtain and maintain employment in the community. Work-based learning is vital to the program, allowing students to develop specific job-related skills in a supported environment through a paid internship.
The concession stand hours will increase in June as the academic school year ends. As of Memorial Day weekend (May 27 th )
Bites by BFAIR will be open the following:
- Saturday and Sunday 11:00am – 3:00pm
- Wednesday 6:00pm – 8:00pm (concerts at the lake)
- Address: 200 Windsor Lake Road, North Adams, MA 01247
Kayla Brown-Wood, Director of Day Services, says, “The Pre-ETS program is a great opportunity for students looking to explore job interests and acquire real-life experience in a supportive environment. After a three-year hiatus, we’re excited to return and serve our community by the beautiful lake!”
