Lombard Historical Society to host Saucy Tales Pub Crawl
On Thursday, July 18, the Lombard Historical Society is offering another “Saucy Tales of Little Orphan Annie Pub Crawl” that will visit four Lombard establishments between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Participants will need tickets in advance and should arrive at the Carriage House at 23 W. Maple St. by 5:30 p.m. so that groups can leave at 5:45 p.m. Leaders of the tours will not wait for late arrivals.
This is a walking tour with the longest distance between two places being six-tenths of a mile. Free parking is available at the Carriage House.
Tickets are $25 or $20 for members. Bars will serve complementary appetizers, but participants will purchase their own drinks. Participants must be over age 21. Tickets and more information are available on the website: lombardhistory.org.
Have fun, meet a few new friends, have a drink and snack and see how good you are at remembering all that Lombard history you may have learned over the years. Individuals may compete individually or choose to form a group of up to four people, to combine wits to answer the trivia questions. Points will be given for each right answer and the three winning groups, or individuals, will win a prize.
There will be a special prize awarded at the end of the night for the best “Annie“ themed costume!
The bars include O’Neil’s Pub, Shannon’s, and Rebel Kitchen. All groups will end at Rebel Kitchen where points will be tallied, and the winners will be announced.
All winners will receive a prize in addition to free tickets to the Lombard Historical Society 2024 Food Truck Social on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 4-9 pm.
The historical society wishes to thank their partners: Shannon’s Deli O’Neil’s Pub, and Rebel Kitchen + Bar.
