Welcome back to more news and special events from V-Town Views, the e-newsletter from the Vallejo Convention and Visitors Bureau.
 Thrills by day and chills by night - Fright Fest Presented by Snickers ® is back and scarier than ever before. Northern California’s original Halloween theme park event transforms Six Flags Discovery Kingdom into a shadow land of ghosts and ghouls. During the day, enjoy family-friendly activities including trick or treating and costume parades and at night, brave two new themed haunted mazes, zombie scare zones and spooky theatrical productions. A nominal fee is required to enjoy the haunted mazes.
Fright Fest comes "alive" October 3rd and runs every Saturday and Sunday through November 1st with special openings on Fridays, October 23rd and 30th. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.SixFlags.com/DiscoveryKingdom, or call (707) 643-6722.
Book your hotel today to enjoy Fright Fest or any of the events listed below and make Vallejo your home base to experience other area attractions like the Vallejo Naval & Historical Museum, the Jelly Belly Candy Company, Mare Island Tours or take a scenic ferry to or from San Francisco’s Ferry Building Marketplace and visit PIER 39. And the wine country is only minutes from Vallejo where you can enjoy the famous  Napa Valley Wine Train or wine tastings at Cartlidge and Browne, Black Stallion Winery, Domaine Carneros or V. Sattui. And don’t forget to Shop Vallejo First and check out Downtown Vallejo for some unique gifts!

Did you know that the #1 candy of choice is SNICKERS (who coincidentally is presenting FRIGHT FEST at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom)?
|
|
Did you know that of the pumpkins marketed domestically, 99% of them are used as jack-o-lanterns at Halloween? And, did you know that pumpkins also come in white, blue and green? Great for unique monster carvings!
|
|
Did you know that Halloween is the third biggest party day of the year behind New Year’s and Super Bowl Sunday, respectively? |

Health concerns that can affect the travel industry are important to the Vallejo CVB. With that in mind and as we enter the flu season, we present the following common sense health tips from the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, and manage your stress.
• Drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious foods.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people |
