Leaf Hunt Under Way - September 24, 2007
NORTH ADAMS — The Fall Foliage Festival Phantom Leaf Hunt is under way and the committee has brought back the scavenger hunt to the traditional event.
The winner of the scavenger hunt will receive a grand prize worth between $150 and $200. The hunt consists of four clues; each clue, when solved, directs participants to the next location and the next clue.
The committee asks that participants be courteous to all people involved in the hunt and not remove the scavenger hung leaves from their locations. The first person to provide the correct answers to all four clues at the Mayor's Office of Tourism, 6 W. Main St., will claim the grand prize.
If there is no winner in the scavenger hunt, a winner will be randomly drawn from the leaf hunt winners. Local businesses donate all prizes. The winners and their prizes will be announced at the conclusion of the event.
The first clue to the Scavenger Hunt is: If I were a superhero I would probably be hanging here.
Participants in the annual leaf hunt will be searching for paper leaves hidden throughout the Northern Berkshire area, and the following clues give the answers to their location. When a paper leaf is found, it must be returned to the Mayor's Office of Tourism to claim the prize. There is one prize per household.
A second set of clues will be announced in the event of any unclaimed leaves. Included in the contest is the Invisible Leaf Hunt for homebound residents. Participants in this event are asked to send a postcard with the number of the clue and the answer with their name, address and phone number to Phantom Leaf Hunt, Mayor's Office of Tourism, 6 W. Main St., North Adams, MA 01247. Only postcards will be accepted. In the event of a tie, the earliest postmark will determine the winner.
The first set of clues to the Leaf Hunt are:
1. Where poets learn their trade
2. Do you have a token
3. Special hovel
4. Adam's bane
5. Fruit to pick?
6. Mashies and niblicks
7. www.canyoufindme.com

Clues for the Invisible Leaf hunt are as follows:
1. There once was a shop where a man could stop to buy his honey a fine gem. Now there, a store of the same name with items galore, even clothing for him.
2. Tourists and travelers by the flock; my rooms were ready for them to unlock for all to see, I stood so proud and tall, until a tragic fire caused me to fall.
3. My outside colors were of bright orange and blue, and sometimes my patrons had to stand in queue because all the tables and booths were all filled. You could order breakfast, lunch or dinner, too. And all our ice cream flavors were tastefully chilled.
