Updated with new clues on Saturday, Oct. 1.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Fall Foliage Festival has begun and the annual Leaf Hunt is under way, and will conclude on Oct. 10.
The colorful paper leaves are hidden throughout Northern Berkshire but participants must first solve the clues to find them. This year there is a special leaf worth $100 to the lucky winner who finds it.
Bring leaves to the Mayor's Office of Tourism at 6 West Main St. to claim prizes. The office is open weekdays but closed from 12:30 to 1:30. One prize per household please. Prizes are generously donated by area businesses.

and colors galore. Then along came urban renewal and behooved a move. But, their
new store would offer so much more as the extra floors would prove. Now there also
were hobbies and crafts and even a train for all to adore.
2nd clue: If you walked by and waved or stopped in, you would always be greeted by the
owner Louis.
2. In years ago, the family could shop on Main street for apparel of all occasions.
Suits for Dad, dresses for Mom, or clothes for the kiddies Sundays or play.
Now there's no clothes, only pictures for walls and wallets.
3. Your treads were shot, and the weather was headed for freezing. so off to this one
stop shop, to pick out just winter or maybe all season. Now to this building you can
not stop but across the street you can go for the very same reason.
