Drawing: Historic Haunted Pub Crawl of Downtown Albany
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
The Historic Haunted Pub Crawl of Downtown Albany have returned this month. And we have a pair of tickets to give away -- maybe to you.
To enter the drawing, please answer this question in the comments:
What's your favorite Halloween treat?
It could be a certain type of Halloween candy. It could be a season beer. It could be whatever. We'll draw one winner a random and that person gets the pair of tickets.
The Historic Haunted Public of Downtown Albany is a collaboration among the Historic Albany Foundation, Ten Broeck Mansion, and The Original Albany Ghost Tour. Blurbage:
Begin your ghost hunt with a tour of Ten Broeck Mansion, one of the most haunted public sites in Albany. Trained docents will guide you through its haunted halls, regaling you with tales of the supernatural. Who is the woman in white seen gazing sadly upon Ten Broeck Triangle? What does the Man with the billy goat beard want from Mansion visitors? The answers may lie within the walls of Ten Broeck. Those who are brave enough to complete the tour will be rewarded with a seasonal treat, thanks to our generous sponsors from the Albany Distilling Co., CH Evans Brewery, and Cider Belly Doughnuts!
The Halloween fun doesn't end there! If you survive the Mansion, your tour guide will lead you to Olde English Pub & Pantry, McGeary's Irish Pub, and the Hollow Bar + Kitchen. Along the way, you can look forward to supernatural tales regarding Albany's history and our rich folklore.
Tour dates for the rest of the season include October 16, 18, 23, 25, and 30. (So Tuesdays and Thursdays until Halloween.) Tours start at 5:30 pm, 6:15 pm, and 7 pm those days. Tickets are $25 and available online.

My favorite Halloween treat is a caramel apple, preferably while watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

My favorite Halloween treat is seeing the neighborhood kids in their costumes as I'm handing out the candy. And maybe sneaking a few candy bars for myself...

Once a year -- only on the night of Halloween -- I enjoy a glass of the strong Italian herbal liqueur Strega. Strega is Italian for witch and there is a witch on the label.

Giving out odd candy like Charleston Chews and Mallow Cups to confused trick or treaters and hoping that they try them and learn that they're awesome.

I love giving out candy to all the dressed up kids. Growing up I lived out a ways and we were lucky if our neighbors stopped by. Now, I run out of candy!

My favorite Halloween treat is an assorted bag of Child’s Play Tootsie Mix- the only place to find those rainbow midgets! The lime and cherry are always gone too quick.
... said Alicia on Oct 17, 2018 at 7:04 AM | link
I love all things Reese's, but frozen or at least cold. And roaming cemeteries when I get a chance, although it doesn't have to be this time of year for that, just makes it a little spookier when it is.
