With the governor's race too close to call, according to the VPR Vermont Poll, the candidates are pulling out all the stops in the final days leading up to the election. This week, Vermont Edition talks with the leading contenders in the race. On Monday, we spoke with Republican Brian Dubie. And Friday, our guest is Democrat Peter Shumlin. Shumlin will define his stances on key issues in this election, and discuss the politics of this year's gubernatorial campaign.

Also in the program, a nod to Halloween. VPR's Jane Lindholm heads to the Lincoln Gap for a haunted hike in the Breadloaf Wilderness with Tim Simard, author of the book "Haunted Hikes of Vermont."
