Latest news, weather and high school sports for Albany and Southwest Georgia

ALBANY, GA -- Bring your little ghosts and goblins downtown for lots of spooky fun Friday, October 28, from 5-8 pm as the Flint RiverQuarium and Thronateeska Heritage Center team up to present Trick and Treats. You’ll get twice the fun at just one price because an armband purchase at either location grants you entrance to all of the festivities, as well as a candy path of treat tables along the riverfront trail. Admission for all ages is $6 with costume or $8 without costume.

A costume contest for ages 6 and under will be held at 6 p.m. at Thronateeska. A separate contest for those 7 and older will be held at 7 p.m. in the Flint RiverQuarium Imagination Theater. A spooky dive show is planned for 6:30 p.m. at the RiverQuarium.

Other scheduled events at the RiverQuarium include games and candy stations throughout, animal presentations, spooky stories and cotton candy in the theater, a jumpy house and pumpkin carving demonstrations on the plaza, and the popular “professor’s laboratory” for the especially brave-hearted.

At Thronateeska, visitors can enjoy storytelling, face painting, Halloween movies, candy stations, dinosaur bone puzzles, a weather center with floating heads, and a witch with her bubbling cauldron. Hot dogs and drinks will be sold by CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) on the train platform.

A candy path along Riverfront Trail will connect the two facilities.
