She's a local artist, managing director of Berkshire Creative at 1Berkshire. And yes, she's single, but she knows she's not the only one.
Dixon, 31, of North Adams, arrived in the Berkshires about 5 years ago as a single lady from the Westchester, N. People are just going out more in many places, where opportunities to meet someone more naturally arise," she said.
Here in the Berkshires, the population's smaller and people and places are more geographically spread out. Dixon and some of her other friends have tried making connections through online dating websites, but say they prefer meeting and building a rapport with someone in person.
In the early s, there were singles mingles hosted by local groups like Singles' Connection and Singles of the Berkshires. But both groups seemed to have fallen by the wayside. So we started talking about how to cultivate an event where people could just get together and maybe make a connection," Dixon said.
Her friend, Stephanie Mendoza, 23, a relatively new Pittsfield transplant via the Houston, Texas area, has also been eager to meet new people and explore new places to better learn about the Berkshires.
