Olde Towne Fall Crawl
presented by Mid-Atlantic Recycling
October 1, 2011
Portsmouth's largest pub crawl!
THANK YOU to Mid-Atlantic Recycling, the 11 bars and restaurants, the 60 gracious volunteers, and of course the nearly 500 participants that made the fifth annual Olde Towne Fall Crawl
on Saturday, October 1st through the streets of historic Olde Towne Portsmouth another resounding success! With all of your help, we were able to donate all of the $11,265 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 GhentBarTours.org. Congratulations to all of our prize winners, especially our big 50/50 raffle winner who scored $134 in cash (we know who was picking up the tab at Roger Brown's)! We hope each and every one of you had as much fun participating in this huge 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.
