NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — More than 100 people marched down Main Street on Friday evening for the annual Fall Foliage Children's Parade.

Sixty-eight children participated individually or in groups. Most went with the theme of Mohawk Trail's 100th anniversary — also the theme of this year's Fall Foliage Parade.

Costumes ranged from signs of towns along the historic byway, American Indians who first blazed the trail, landmarks, cars and fall foliage, along with a scattering of more traditional Halloween characters.

The parade was accompanied by Drury High School band and marchers and ended at City Hall, where awards were presented by Mayor Richard Alcombright, state Rep. Gailanne Cariddi and state Sen. Benjamin B. Downing.
