Eric Morrett’s Capital District Challenge League is unique, fun, safe and extremely successful.
For starters, the CDCL, which is hosted by East Greenbush Bowling Center every Tuesday night, is not just a league. It’s also a mini-tournament on different oil patterns every week. It’s loaded with various ways of earning extra cash. Many of the adults and juniors who test their games in the CDCL end up performing well in other major tournaments contested on demanding lane conditions.

Hancock Shaker Village invites visitors to meet and greet its baby animals as part of its annual spring ritual for the 17th year.
The popular three-week event, “Baby Animals on the Shaker Farm,” runs through Sunday, May 9, and celebrates the opening of the Pittsfield village museum’s 2021 season. The living history museum on 750 acres in the Berkshires was home to the social and religious community known as Shakers whose celibate lifestyle, furniture and architecture gave them prominence.
A variety of animals born on the farm, which is the oldest working one in the Berkshires, can be observed in and around the Round Stone Barn. The animals include modern as well as heritage breeds popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
