Kevin Moran: The Christmas display that caused traffic jams in Clarksburg

A 1953 photo by North Adams Transcript photographer Randy Trabold has Barbara Pomeroy, then Barbara Slade Armstrong, showing off some of her Christmas display creations. Screenshot by Kevin Moran Back in the 1950s, the annual outdoor Christmas displays outside the Slade family home up in Clarksburg were so popular, they often resulted in traffic jams. Think of it: Traffic jams. In Clarksburg. In fact, on Christmas night 1953, the Slades returned home from their own driving tour of neighborhood Christmas displays to find they couldn’t “get near their own driveway,” the North Adams Transcript reported, “because of the numerous cars” — as many as 50 at one time — “parked near their home, attracted by the Slades’ own display.”
