The invisible clues were much more popular this year with entrants from North Adams, Adams, Cheshire, Pittsfield and Williamstown.  In some cases winners were determined by the earliest postmark. Results are as follows:

 

1.  "Back in the days to see beautiful Fall Foliage from an elevated spot" you went to Petey Dinks, on the Clarksburg/North Adams line, also known as Mountain View, on Wheeler Avenue where many showers and parties were celebrated: Gail Nelson of North Adams

 

2.  Although we look for colorful red, orange and yellow leaves, this favorite wedding reception and party spot in Cheshire carried the name of Green Acres. In North Adams the Blue Spruce tourist home offered rooms while in the Drury section of Florida we associate another color with longtime family business Brown's Garage: Hazel Hancock of North Adams

 

3.  Near the Adams/North Adams line the Orange Squeeze Bottling Co. on Howland Avenue in the Zylonite section produced many favorite flavors.  A tie between Peggy Oleskiewicz of Williamstown and Marilyn and Ed Wojieck of Adams.

 

The above-mentioned winners received prizes generously donated by Wild Oats, Walmart, Pedrin's Dairy Bar, North Adams Museum of History and Science, Chee's Restaurant, Freight Yard Pub, Boston Seafoods, Planet Fitness, North Adams MoviePlex 8, and Big Y.
