Margit Hotchkiss, chief marketing officer of the Norman Rockwell Museum and a member at large of the Stockbridge Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors said the following about the upcoming visit from the Today Show:

They’re presenting towns across America that have a particularly special holiday scene, and we loved that they said they wanted to kick it off with probably the most iconic holiday scene [which] is Main Street Stockbridge. We’re thrilled that they’ve chosen the town, and I think it’ll be a lot of fun.

The Today's Show live broadcast segment from the Red Lion Inn will be at 8:25 am on Friday and will last approximately two-and-a-half minutes. You can get more details about the Today Show's upcoming appearance at the Red Lion Inn by going here.
