ADAMS, Mass. — For two weekends Saturday, March 25, Sunday, March 26, Saturday, April 1, and Sunday, April 2, the Hoosac Valley Train Ride will be running their Easter Bunny Hop Trains.

The trains will depart at noon, 1 p.m., and 2:30 p.m., on Saturday and Sunday running from Adams and returning to Adams.

Tim Doherty of the Hoosac Valley Train Ride said the Easter Bunny Hop trains are returning because of the popularity of last year’s trains.

"There's a type of nostalgia that comes with the experience of riding a vintage train," Doherty explains. "The Easter Bunny Hop Train Ride provides a great way for families to ride a train together. On each train, there is a costumed Easter Bunny greeting kids and giving out colored eggs."

Bunny Hop Train tickets are available for $15 (3 to 13 years old), $20 (14 years old or older), and $2 for kids under 3 years old riding on a lap. All trains board and depart from 5 Hoosac St. in Adams. Tickets can be purchased online at www.berkshiretrains.org/tickets.

Adams Parts Ways With Police Chief

ADAMS, Mass. — The town has parted ways with its police chief.

K. Scott Kelley "is no longer employed by the Town of Adams," according to interim Town Administrator Holli Jayko.

The Board of Selectmen voted on Sept. 8 to put the police chief on a paid leave of absence but town officials have declined to answer repeated questions about the nature of the absence other than to clarify it was not a "suspension."

His departure follows an executive session held by the Selectmen last Wednesday to discuss a personnel matter other than professional competence, including health or discipline, or dismissal.

A request for further information on whether Kelley's leaving was through resignation or termination was not provided, or whether his contract had been paid out.

"The Town does not comment on personnel matters and will have no further comment on this matter at this time," responded Selectmen Chair John Duval via email on Friday.

Kelley, who moved here to take the post of chief in 2021, has reportedly sold his home.
