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.
 
All participants received participation ribbons. There were several neck-and-neck races where a photo finish was used to determine first and second places.

Clarksburg Sees Race for Select Board Seat

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town will see a three-way race for a seat on the Select Board in May. 
 
Colton Andrews, Seth Alexander and Bryana Malloy returned papers by Wednesday's deadline to run for the three-year term vacated by Jeffrey Levanos. 
 
Andrews ran unsuccessfully for School Committee and is former chairman of the North Adams Housing Authority, on which he was a union representative. He is also president of the Pioneer Valley Building Trades Council.
 
Malloy and Alexander are both newcomers to campaigning. Malloy is manager of industrial relations for the Berkshire Workforce Board and Alexander is a resident of Gates Avenue. 
 
Alexander also returned papers for several other offices, including School Committee, moderator, library trustee and the five-year seat on the Planning Board. He took out papers for War Memorial trustee and tree warden but did not return them and withdrew a run for Board of Health. 
 
He will face off in the three-year School Committee seat against incumbent Cynthia Brule, who is running for her third term, and fellow newcomer Bonnie Cunningham for library trustee. 
 
Incumbent Ronald Boucher took out papers for a one-year term as moderator but did not return them. He was appointed by affirmation in 2021 when no won ran and accepted the post again last year as a write-in.
