     Centennial Tour and Taste of AlbanyThe finest businesses and restaurants of Albany are inviting the public to taste the best the city has to offer in food, fun, and services. The sixth annual Tour & Taste of Albany will be a historic extravaganza of food, drink, history, bands, and fun for locals and visitors to the city. This year’s event has been broadened to include more business involvement and highlight Albany’s Centennial. The Albany Chamber of Commerce is selling a limited number of $10 tickets at their offices at 1108 Solano Avenue. Each ticket may be redeemed the day of the event for a “passport”. The passport gives the holder a tasting at each participating restaurant, special activities or prizes at each participating business, a map for a self guided tour around city, and historical scavenger hunt questions. Passport holders who complete the scavenger hunt receive a commemorative Albany centennial souvenir from the Albany Historical Society. A portion of ticket sales will benefit the Albany Education Foundation. For those who do not purchase a ticket, the city will also be filled with a number of free activities as well. Two live bands will be playing at the lot on Solano Avenue west of the Sofia’s café between Masonic and Evelyn. Children’s arts and games will be setup near Cornell School, which is also 100 years old in 2008. In addition, there will be a fire truck and historic firefighting information at the San Pablo site of an early fire station, and a Key system bus from the public transportation system before BART.
