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 Lions Club Makes Anniversary Donations

ADAMS — To celebrate the 85th anniversary of receiving its charter, the Adams Lions Club awarded a total of $8,500 — $100 for each year of the club's existence — to four local organizations. 
 
These awards are in addition to the club's annual donations, such as for scholarships for local high school graduates and events for children and senior citizens.
 
Adams Beautification, Adams Fire Department, Adams Forest Wardens, and Adams Free Library received the awards, which were presented at an 85th anniversary celebration Nov. 21 at the Bounti-Fare restaurant.
 
"The motto of Lionism is 'We Serve,'" Adams Lions Club President Peter Tomyl said. "What better way to celebrate our anniversary than serving local organizations in need of support?"
 
Adams Beautification will use its grant to purchase flowers, mulch and other supplies for the public areas, such as the Route 8 rotary, Visitors Center and Adams Train Station, that it decorates seasonally to make the town more welcoming and attractive.
 
The Adams Fire Department and Forest Wardens will use their grants to upgrade equipment through the purchase of smooth-bore nozzles that reach farther than current nozzles and are easier for firefighters to handle, said Fire Chief John Pansecchi.
 
The Adams Free Library will use its grant to present two of the seven events scheduled as part of its 2025 summer reading program for children. The Science Heroes will present its Experiment Lab program for readers in Grades 6 to 12, and a former competitor in the Rubik's Cube World Championship will offer a workshop for kindergartners and up about how to crack the code of the Rubik's Cube.
