albany history race 2014 posterThe Albany Public Library is sponsoring an "Albany History Race" this Saturday, November 8. Blurbage:

Anyone interested in Albany's storied past is invited to participate in this "Amazing Race"-style scavenger hunt around the city. Over the course of just a few hours on a Saturday afternoon, teams will receive clues and dash around Albany completing challenges. The final stop of the race is McGeary's Pub (4 Clinton Sq.) where each participating team will receive 20 percent off their food and drink that day. The top three teams will receive bragging rights and prizes.

The hunt begins at the Main Library's Albany History Room at 1 pm on Saturday. It's free to participate, but you must register (and you can do so online).
