Olde Towne Fall Crawl
presented by Mid-Atlantic Recycling
October 10, 2009
The only charity pub crawl in Portsmouth!
THANK YOU to Mid-Atlantic Recycling, the 9 bars and restaurants, the 50 gracious volunteers, and of course the more than 250 participants that made the third annual Olde Towne Fall Crawl
through the streets of historic Olde Towne Portsmouth a fantastic success once again on Saturday, October 10th. With all of your help, we were able to donate all of the $8,075 in proceeds from this event directly to Children's Performance Workshops! This locally based and nationally recognized organization works in the local Hampton Roads area to teach children to recognize, prevent, and disclose child abuse and bullying. All photos we have received from this event have been posted in our online photo gallery at GhentBarTour.com. Congratulations to all of our prize winners, especially our big 50/50 raffle winner who scored $159 in cash! We hope each and every one of you had as much fun participating in the event as we had putting it together. And we'll look forward to seeing you all in Olde Towne Portsmouth again next year!

For those a bit less familiar with the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, Olde Towne is a historic downtown neighborhood
located in Portsmouth just across the Elizabeth River from downtown Norfolk. It has kept up its 18th and 19th-century history and charm now for more than 250 years. Trinity Episcopal Church, founded in 1762, still rings its bells just across High St from the 1846 Courthouse that now serves as a museum. More on the history of Olde Towne, as well as an official visitor's guide and other useful information, is available on the Olde Towne Business Association website.
