LENOX, Mass. — Downtown Lenox is utilizing sidewalks this holiday season by lining them with decorated trees.

The first annual Holiday Tree Walk is happening through the month of December on Main Street, Housatonic Street, Walker Street, and Church Street.

During this holiday season, these trees can be viewed in a safe, social distancing manner while browsing historical Lenox.

The event is a collaboration with the Lenox Chamber of Commerce, the townolki9"? and the Lenox Cultural District.

"It was a collaborative brainchild between the Cultural District and the Chamber of Commerce's Director Jennifer Nacht," the chamber's Creative Services Manager Deirdre McKenna said. "It was something that came out of some of the discussions with the Cultural District committee members."

Nearly 30 decorated holiday trees can be found lining the streets and featuring a Pickle Scavenger Hunt in which viewers locate a good luck pickle on every tree.



Most of the trees' decorations were a result of a business and an artist being paired, with the business paying the cost of the decorations.

Organizations including Shakespeare & Company, Mass Audubon Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, and Ventfort Hall, and more submitted staff-decorated trees for the tree walk.

This event is free to the public and can be viewed at any time, as the trees will be up through December.

DALTON, Mass. — At just 16 years old, Salvatore LaBeau is already making avalanches in the national snocross racing scene.
 
Last weekend, LaBeau raced in the Mount Zion Snocross National race in Ironwood, Mich., the first of eight races in the national circuit series. 
 
Competitions take place across national circuits, attracting racers from various regions and even internationally. 
 
Labeau rides for CT Motorsports, a team based in Upstate New York, on a 2025 Polaris 600R. 
 
This is LaBeau's first time competing on the CT Motorsports team. Years prior, he raced for a team owned by Bruce Gaspardi, owner of South Side Sales and Service in North Adams.  
 
Despite a bad first day on Friday when he fell off his snowmobile and didn't make the final, LaBeau carried on with confidence and on Saturday obtained his first national podium, placing in third for the Sport Lite class. 
 
"I'm feeling good. I'm gonna start training more when I come home, and go to the gym more. And I am really excited, because I'm in 11th right now," the Wahconah High student said.
