AMAZING BERLIN RACE
3rd annual event was no walk in the park By Nicole Zappone The Citizen
The third annual Amazing Berlin Race scavenger hunt drew dozens of families to Pistol Creek on April 2 to test their local knowledge, while also doing a bit of spring cleaning.
BHS seniors Mason Toce and Alexa Prendergast.
It’s prom season, and Mason Toce planned a “promposal” for his girlfriend Alexa Prendergast that she will not soon forget. With the help of Nadeau Brothers Concrete, LLC, and Concrete Floors, LLC, Toce had the word “prom” spelled out using the extending arms of work trucks. Toce and Prendergast are Berlin High School seniors.
Along with figuring out clues and completing tasks, racers earned points by collecting trash around the Spruce Brook Road park, resulting in more than 500 discarded items being Nadia Brochu, 11, at the picked up. See Race, A10
