Print Story | Email Story
Hancock - Where'd You Get That!?: Gifts for the Curious and The Country Store Jiminy Peak have partnered in a cooperative marketing effort to attract Jiminy Peak visitors to the on-site Country Store and Where'd You Get That!?'s new store on Spring Street in Williamstown. Early in 2004, owner Tom Masone of The Country Store Jiminy Peak (who also owns and operates The Store at Five Corners in Williamstown) approached Where'd You Get That!? to include a satellite operation within the Country Store. Where'd You Get That!?'s mini-shop offers toys, games and gadgets for kids of all ages. The partnership allows the Country Store to carry a wider variety of entertaining products while controlling inventory costs. A wallet-sized mini-brochure was created to appeal to ski vacationers at Jiminy Peak, Bentley Brook and Vacation Village. The variety of goods and services offered by The Country Store Jiminy Peak and Where'd You Get That!? outlined in the brochure includes a coupon for a complimentary cup of coffee at the Country Store, a raffle ticket to win gift baskets including products from both businesses and directions and maps to The Country Store Jiminy Peak and Where'd You Get That!?'s new and expanded location in Williamstown. "The addition of Where'd You Get That!?'s toys and games have contributed to the development of our true country store product mix. Their 'curious' toys have brought another dimension to our services," said Masone. "Even though this cooperative marketing piece is new to the resort audience, we have seen an immediate impact and visitors are coming in to check out our store, the toys and games, and are taking advantage of all of our services," he added. The mini-brochure is being distributed to visitors of Jiminy Peak, Bentley Brook and Vacation Village upon arrival and will be mailed home to Jiminy Peak vacationers with room reservation confirmations. The Country Store Jiminy Peak, a new-fashioned general store, offers wine, beer, spirits, grocery items, toiletries, newspapers, magazines, books, souvenirs, videos, gifts, games, toys and food to go.

Lanesborough Fifth-Graders Win Snowplow Name Contest

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — One of the snowplows for Highway District 1 has a new name: "The Blizzard Boss."
 
The name comes from teacher Gina Wagner's fifth-grade class at Lanesborough Elementary School. 
 
The state Department of Transportation announced the winners of the fourth annual "Name A Snowplow" contest on Monday. 
 
The department received entries from public elementary and middle school classrooms across the commonwealth to name the 12 MassDOT snowplows that will be in service during the 2025/2026 winter season. 
 
The purpose of the contest is to celebrate the snow and ice season and to recognize the hard work and dedication shown by public works employees and contractors during winter operations. 
 
"Thank you to all of the students who participated. Your creativity allows us to highlight to all, the importance of the work performed by our workforce," said  interim MassDOT Secretary Phil Eng.  
 
"Our workforce takes pride as they clear snow and ice, keeping our roads safe during adverse weather events for all that need to travel. ?To our contest winners and participants, know that you have added some fun to the serious take of operating plows. ?I'm proud of the skill and dedication from our crews and thank the public of the shared responsibility to slow down, give plows space and put safety first every time there is a winter weather event."
