Berkshire Running Center will work with Downtown Pittsfield Inc's Director Rebecca Brien, in a cross promotion event with those who get a Thankful hat from either participation or donation, can bring that hat back on Small Business Saturday to take advantage of special Thankful deals. Over 40 downtown merchants have displayed Thankful food boxes available for all nonperishable items for the entire month of November.
