Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Unpaved Cycling Event to Benefit Jimmy Fund (iberkshires.com) — Lenox will again host PMC Unpaved, bringing hundreds of cyclists and volunteers to town for a gravel ride and camp weekend benefiting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Riders will gather at Camp Mah-Kee-Nac, choose from three scenic Berkshires routes, and enjoy post-ride entertainment, all while helping the Pan-Mass Challenge push toward a record fundraising goal.
2. State trooper transported to hospital after Pittsfield Road crash (berkshireeagle.com) — Emergency crews from Lenox responded Sunday afternoon after a State Police cruiser and another vehicle collided on Pittsfield Road near Devonshire Estates, sending a trooper to the hospital with minor injuries. The other driver and passengers declined treatment, and State Police say the cause of the Route 20 crash in Lenox remains under investigation, with no word yet on possible charges.
3. Wahconah boys soccer finds its footing, rolls past Moriarty League rival Lenox (berkshireeagle.com) — Lenox soccer fans saw the hometown Millionaires fall 3-1 to visiting Wahconah in Monday night's Moriarty League matchup, despite standout goalkeeping from sophomore Michael McLaughlin. Wahconah's Isaac Gage scored twice and Leo Stringer added a late header, while Lenox looks ahead to Thursday's home game against Easthampton still seeking its first win.
4. Massachusetts grants $7 million for 23 theater productions (wwlp.com) — Lenox arts lovers will see a direct boost as Shakespeare & Company and WAM Theatre are among 23 productions statewide sharing $7 million in new state theater funding announced by Gov. Maura Healey. The grants, which also support nearby companies in Pittsfield and Ashfield, aim to strengthen live performance offerings across Massachusetts heading into upcoming seasons.
5. 10 Massachusetts Towns So Overrun By Tourists That Locals Avoid The Center (takingthekids.com) — Lenox residents will recognize the summer crunch described here, as Tanglewood concerts and fall foliage turn the town center into a crowded cultural hotspot with scarce parking and busy restaurants. The piece highlights how locals time errands around performance nights, while also pointing to quieter hiking trails, lakes, and Gilded Age landmarks like The Mount that remain more peaceful escapes.
