NORTH ADAMS - The second set of clues have been released for the annual Fall Foliage Festival Phantom Leaf Hunt's remaining leaves. The annual event features a series of clues that point the way to paper leaves hidden around Northern Berkshire County.
Leaves must be returned to the Mayor's Office of Tourism at 6 West Main St. to claim a prize.
The scavenger hunt also is still in progress; there will be no second set of clues for that hunt. Leaves for that hunt should not be removed from their locations.
If there is no winner in the scavenger hunt, the winner will be chosen at random from the leaf hunt winners.
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 first clue to the scavenger hunt is: If I were a superhero I would probably be hanging here.
The second set of clues to still-hidden leaves in the leaf hunt are:
1. A new place to learn
3. Many flavors
6. N.A. or Clarksburg?
7. HD and telephones, too
8. You're getting warm
9. Local clothier
10. Workout
11. Rent by the day or the week
13. No, it isn't trout
15. 7 through 12
16. Spares and strikes
17. A doggie groom or some lunch
20. Not sunlight
The invisible leaf hunt for homebound residents is over. The winners are:
1. Peebles: Rose Marie Thomas of North Adams
2. Old Richmond Hotel: Cindi Spencer of North Adams
3. Former Howard Johnson's in Williamstown: Dolly Hancock of North Adams

Dalton Day Returns This Saturday
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The town's popular Dalton Day festival is returning this weekend after a year's hiatus.
The event will kick off this Saturday at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. in the field in front of the Senior Center.
The community celebration was established in 2023 by the Cultural Council in an effort to increase resident participation at town meetings while also showcasing the area's welcoming, diverse, artistic and sporty atmosphere. In 2024, the event brought together 300 residents.
"The primary mission of Dalton Day is to foster a strong sense of community, build civic pride, and bring residents together through a shared celebration of local culture, music, and food," said Jeannie Ingram, Select Board member and cultural council chair, and Lori Venezia, executive assistant to the town manager.
The event provides an accessible and free platform for "civic education, community bonding, and supporting local businesses, artisans, makers, and culture more broadly," they said.
The festival strengthens the fabric of the town both civically and economically by connecting grassroots organizations with residents, fostering a shared sense of belonging, and providing free, family-friendly entertainment.
It also serves as an opportunity for community members to meet with local officials and a couple of state officials. State Sen. Paul Mark and state Rep. Leigh Davis will be coming from Beacon Hill to speak at the event.
