Phantoms and Fire returns Halloween-themed event appropriate for all ages

hantoms and Fire was introduced at Old Sturbridge Village last year during the COVID-19 pandemic as a Halloween-themed program that gave visitors an opportunity to enjoy the festivities of the fall season while remaining safe thanks to the open-air setting. The program included the newly created Nevermore, a series of short performances by single actors at various buildings throughout the museum.

Phantoms and Fire returns to Old Sturbridge Village this month. The series brings theatrical and family-friendly Halloween activities to the village, including Clues and Candy, an outdoor twist on Trick-or-Treat at the Village, live music with the Mysterious Melodies of Lawrence Trailer and themed food and beverage offerings.

“His poems and stories have also been a staple of film and theater for decades, but they come to life in a way viewers will have never seen before during Nevermore.”

‘Margaritaville’ musical offers chance to get away from it all

Special to The Republican

If you’re looking to escape from your routine or get away from your troubles — if only for a couple of hours — think about going to “Margaritaville.”

It has been called a place where people go to get away from it all and stay to find something they never expected.

Jimmy Buffett’s “Escape to Margaritaville” — described as a hilarious and heart-warming musical — is

“It really is a two-hour vacation. You can come to the theater and leave everything else behind,” said Chris Clark, the lead in the show. “You can just come and pretend it’s July and you’re cooking out, making burgers, having drinks and listening to music, having a good time.”

Old Sturbridge Village is a landmark among living history museums and is the largest outdoor history facility in New England.

Village CONTINUES FROM PAGE E2

For those who do not want to be frightened, the evening will offer a full experience that includes fun activities for children. A horse-drawn carryall will offer rides to visitors around the village.

There will be live music.

Food and drink will be available for purchase as Bullard Tavern is transformed into Prospero’s Tavern. The menu will include beer, wine, hard cider, hot cider with or without rum, hot cocoa, popcorn and cookies. In addition, there will be a spooky selfie contest and a fun backdrop for taking selfies.

Old Sturbridge Village is a landmark among living history museums and is the largest outdoor history facility in New England. “We believe our Phantoms and Fire program gives visitors a way to connect with and learn about the past that is different from our daytime experience.

It can both enhance the learning experience offered during our standard daytime programming while engaging with new visitors who might not realize what fun history

can be,” Hardt said.

Set on more than 200 scenic acres of outdoor, openair space, the village also provides a safe location for visitors to enjoy themselves in a responsible manner.

“If the evening Phantoms and Fire experience is not right for someone, we encourage them to visit us during the daytime as this October is packed with great programming,” Hardt said.

“Harvest-season activities, the opening of our brand new Cabinetmaking shop and the newly opened exhibit, ‘New England on Parade,’ are just a few examples of a robust month of historical interpretation.”

Ttickets are $20 for adults and $12 for youth. Go to osv. org/event/phantoms-andfire-2021.

Restaurants finding it hard to keep bars well stocked

T

HE LATEST HASsle with which restaurant operators are having to deal? It’s a shortage of alcoholic beverages, particularly wines and high-end spirits.

Since late summer, sporadic shortages have been cropping up in various parts of the alcoholic beverage supply chain, making it increasingly difficult for restaurants and hotels to keep their bars well stocked.

In Pennsylvania, where the state’s Liquor Control Board maintains a monopoly on alcoholic beverage distribution and sales, selective daily purchasing limits of two bottles has been put in place as a strategy to deal with shortages and stock-outs.

Authorities in other monopoly states also report chronic inventory problems, with premium brands of distilled spirits in particularly short supply.

The causes of these supply chain snags are some of the usual suspects – not enough truck drivers and warehouse workers, for instance – but other factors, such as congestion at ocean shipping terminals and COVID-related delays in customs paperwork are also an issue.

Further compounding the supply shortfalls are shortages of aluminum cans and glass bottles, which mean that distillers, vineyards and breweries aren’t always able to package all that they could be shipping.

High levels of demand are still another factor, as restaurants and bars try to build back the beverage inventories they let become depleted earlier in the pandemic.

To cope with the shortages, restaurants are being advised to avoid, whenever possible,

promoting spirits by brand names. Several premium brands of rum are virtually unobtainable, for instance, while similar but less-wellknown alternatives are widely available.

Dining room staffs should also be trained to suggest beverage products with similar flavor profiles when a customer requests a particular brand or bottle that’s currently not in stock.

Beverage industry experts predict that spot shortages are likely to continue well into 2022.

A few fall beers to sample

A

George Lenker Beer Nut

These are the types of beer that pair well with a glowing fireplace or the crisp, cool air of the season. chocolate and two types of coffee beans, and flaked oats.

If that sounds like a bit much, well, it is, but in a good way.

The generous helping of hops keeps things in balance.

• Southern Tier Pumking: I’m usually not a huge fan of pumpkin beers. I like them just fine, but I don’t go crazy for them like some people.

I’m also not overly interested in “dessert-type” beers. But here I am recommending one that is both. I probably can’t drink more than one of these, but it’s a tasty delight.

It’s like pumpkin pie in a glass.

• Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier: For my final entry here, I’m going with another brew that I can probably only drink one of, but it’s perfect for fall. It’s not for the timid, as the overwhelming flavor here is smoke.

Using copious amounts of smoked malt, this rauchbier will char your palate and leave pleasant cocoa and cigar notes behind. And it’s as flavorful as any beer I’ve had.

“Our musical is back this fall season and ready to take parrotheads and theatre patrons to the island of Margaritaville and escape this crazy world we all find ourselves in these days, for a few hours of fun,” Buffett said. “And our talented performers are ready, willing and able to take you on a vacation, without ever leaving your seat.”

During the hiatus, Clark kept busy working as a fitness instructor and in retail while taking acting classes and going to auditions.

Tully is his first post-college role, and he attributed landing it to “opportunity plus preparation is luck.”

A 2019 graduate of Texas State University in San Marcos with a bachelor of fine arts in musical theater, Clark got the role of Tully right after college. He was 22 when he began rehearsing for the role, and he is now 25. Like himself, he said Tully “is a little

bit older and wiser but still has some lessons to learn.”

A native of the Dallas area, Clark began acting in community theater at the age of 5 and continued acting in high school and college. He plays guitar and said one of the most frequent questions people ask him is if he is really playing the guitar in Margaritaville. He is.

To ensure the safety of staff, performers, volunteers and patrons, everyone entering The Bushnell will be required to remain fully masked at all times unless actively eating or drinking. Additionally, The Bushnell is requiring proof of full vaccination or negative COVID test, a photo ID and a ticket to the performance for entry into the building.

Cast and crew members also follow safety protocols, even when they are out and about. Clark said COVID is like a football team’s additional opponent. “If you want to be successful, you can’t have players off the roster,” he said. “We have to be careful when we are out because it puts us at risk and puts our show at risk.”

For more details on accepted proof and testing requirements and all of The Bushnell’s COVID-19 safety protocols, visit Bushnell. org/covid19.

in other nearby vineyards.

Most of the winery’s vineyards are located in the Rioja Alta region, including the one used to make this particular white wine.

This particular white wine uses Macebo (Viura) grapes from one particular vineyard – Villalba de Rioja.

The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for eight months in French oak barrels.

The result? An absolutely outstanding, dry, crisp white wine with hints of honeydew melon, sea salt and lemon zest. What I love about this subtle white wine is how distinct it tastes.

It’s not trying to be a white Burgundy or a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. It’s its own, unique, wonderful self.

It’s austere yet approachable, refreshing yet reserved. And best of all, like many wines from Spain’s Rioja region, you don’t have to spend a fortune for such a great-tasting wine.

Cheers!

RECENT NOTE I received from Oskar Blues Brewery reminded me that it is indeed autumn now, even if the current warm weather doesn’t seem like it.

The email was about two fall releases from the brewery, which got me thinking about fall beers – not Oktoberfest brews, which are their own category – but other beers that come into focus as the days get shorter and leaves start to fall.

But before I get to that, let me apprise you of what Oskar Blues has back on the shelves.

The brewery just released two of its highly anticipated seasonal beers: Death by Coconut Irish Porter and Ten FIDY Imperial Stout, both of which will be distributed nationwide on draft and in four-packs of 12-ounce cans.

Death by Coconut is a brew that combines a semi-sweet Irish porter with flavors of chocolate and creamy coconut. Ten FIDY is a huge imperial stout, at 10.5% alcohol by volume, using dark malt and including chocolate and roasted barley as well as Munich malt, caramel malt, and fluffy oats.

These are the types of beer that pair well with a glowing fireplace or the crisp, cool air of the season. Here are a few others you might enjoy as you put away your shorts and break out the flannel: • Anchor Brewing Porter: This classic still stands the test of time even four decades after its inception. There is plenty of complexity in the flavor profile, but the end result is as smooth as Steve McQueen. (Younger readers can insert their own suave movie star reference here.)

• Founder’s Breakfast Stout: You could pick any number of stouts for this category, but this one seems to fit the autumn mold a bit better. It’s an imperial stout brewed with two types of
