Some two dozen restaurants, caterers, bakers and wine shops donated a buffet feast for Monday night’s Mayfest benefit for Construct Inc, which provides homeless prevention and supportive housing services for people with low to moderate incomes in the Southern Berkshires. The event was sponsored by the South Council of the Berkshire Board of Realtors. Guests chatted with their favorite local chefs who had set up tasting tables outdoors under a big tent and inside the elegantly rustic Crissey Farm catering hall at Jennifer House Commons.
