This week was brought to you by | All Over Albany

This week was brought to you by moon rocks, curling, christmas cards, the airing of the grievances and all matter of holiday frivolity.

It also came to you courtesy of the great folks who advertise on AOA --like Bilinski's healthy chicken sausages and champagne hams. Champagne hams are marinated in Glenora sparkling wine from the New York State fingerlakes region and a blend of brown sugar and spices.They're infused with champagne flavor - but the alcohol is cooked out. They're festive and fun and they're available throughout the holiday season at Price Chopper and Hannaford stores.

AOA advertisers help us keep you in the loop on things interesting and important -- or just fun and delicious. You'l find a list of them below. Please check them out when you can.
