Travers Wine Tasting nears the homestretch

Screen shot 2016-08-15 at 11.48.19 AMThe 18th annual Travers Wine Tasting is coming up fast.

The fundraiser for Senior Services of Albany is set for 6:30 to 10 p.m. Friday, August 26, at the Canfield Casino in Saratoga Springs.

This is one of the summer Saratoga season's major charity events, and offers specialty beers in addition to wines, food, and both live and silent auction.

As to admission, don't believe everything you read. The official event announcement says admission is $135 per person, even though the Capital Region Chamber's online calendar lists it as free. (See below.)

The Canfield Casino is located in the 17-acre Congress Park off Broadway. It was the site of the Congress Spring Bottling Plant and the former Congress Hall, a large resort hotel, which together brought Saratoga Springs international fame as a health spa and gambling site. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
