The galleries of the Berkshire Museum will also be open to all who attend this party, so be sure to check out the amazing exhibit "the art of the arsenal" that is on display, including weapons, armor (even cat armor!), and, our favorite, some Shepard Fairey prints, which inspired our concepts for this party!

About the Founders:
Berkshire Resident, Trevor Hotchkin, hopes to leave an ever enduring mark on his community. With a 10 year background in special events in Berkshire County, he endeavors to participate in the cultural renaissance of Pittsfield and beyond. As an operations manager for an event rental company, he has honed his skills in event design, décor, lighting, and logistics. Using these attributes Berkshire Shenanigans was born and aspires to bring a host of upscale, nightlife and community events to an increasingly affluent community.
Renee DeRagon, a life long county resident and business owner, has always realized a lack of night life in her home town and county. With her social influence, service industry background, and entrepreneurial spirit, an event production initiative was conceived. As a past chef and food service provider her experience in high end cuisine and eye for detail has given way to an extraordinary collaboration with friends and community to create Berkshire Shenanigans.
Teaming up with a common goal, founders Trevor Hotchkin and Renee DeRagon hope to follow their interests to create more happening nightlife in the area. Berkshire Shenanigans hopes to enhance the culture of its community by producing unforgettable experiences and memories.
Thank You for your support and interest.
