Search Is on for Phantom Leaves

01:09PM / Monday, September 29, 2008

NORTH ADAMS — Local leafpeepers should be on the lookout for some unusual leaves — paper ones leading to some great prizes!

The annual Fall Foliage Phantom Leaf Hunt is afoot for the colorful paper leaves that have been hidden throughout the Northern Berkshire area. The Leaf Hunt committee says this year's leaves are well hidden, and suggests those hunting to search each area thoroughly.

The clues below give the answer to the locations of the leaves. When a leaf is found, it must be brought to the Mayor's Office of Tourism at 6 West Main St. to claim the prize (one prize per household). Prizes are generously donated by area merchants.

A second set of clues will be announced in the event of unclaimed leaves.

As always, the leaf committee has included an 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 along with their name, address and phone number, to Phantom Leaf Hunt, Mayor's Office of Tourism, 6 West 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 clues are:

1. Yellow/orange factories

2. The weak wolf

3. Full, not crescent

4. Mother town tower of bucks

5. Benevolence

6. From classrooms to parlors

7. Sesame Street transportation

8. Capital crustacean

9. Stay within this

10. Masse

11. Tremulous abode

12. Leif peepings

13. Daisuke hangout

14. Mother's congregation

15. Horns in bronze

16. A ball atop a stone

17. Town and country

18. One hundred Near the top

19. The sound of leaves

20. William ascends


Clues for homebound residents are:

1. He came to visit crowds galore
number one, he was for sure.
In bronze he stands immortalized,
One hand raised toward the sky.

2. Repaired and refurbished
Though old my boards may be,
I am set upon a field for everyone
To see.

In William's town I can be found
A landmark rarity.

3. Many rooms, but not for rent,
where medicine was the strongest scent
people from all around came,
In hopes they would be rid of their pain.
