NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Families enjoyed a morning of fun with local nonprofits offering games, art projects, and giveaways on Saturday morning at Noel Field Athletic Complex.
 
The annual Fall Foliage Children's Races and Family Fair was presented by Northern Berkshire United Way, the city of North Adams' Community Events, Adams Youth Center Inc., and sponsored by Greylock Federal Credit Union.
 
The annual event kicks off the Fall Foliage Festival along with the release of the Fall Foliage Leaf Hunt clues. The festival continues through Sunday, Oct. 6, when 1Berkshire presents the 64th annual Fall Foliage Parade to conclude the festivities.
 
Omer Black delighted the crowd with magic before the racers lined up for their races. The winners were presented with medals by Mayor Thomas Bernard at the end of the event.
