Description

Ghosts, Witches, Bats in the Belfry, Oh My!

Hear Ye Hear Ye, the town crier cried: Come one come all to Fredericksburg and have a ball! Rain or shine!
Ye event will be walking thru the streets of Old Town Fredericksburg, VA discovering its charm and perhaps seeing a live ghost or two, meeting a witch, and of course to avoid a bat wear a hat!

This here event will be starting from the Hyperion Espresso Coffee Shop, 301 William Street, (William and Princess Anne St.) between 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. This coffee shop serves delicious coffee and baked goodies. Some of you may feel you may get caught up in the new fangled traffic, en route, I will send to thee a way to contact me should thou desire.

A prepared participant may want to stop by the Fredericksburg Visitor Center, 706 Caroline Street, (between Charlotte and Hanover Street) en route to the check-in to grab a street map. Look around and see if there is anything else that may catch thy eye! If you miss this stop, I will provide thee a map.
