"it was a nice question, for the cape" [GLOR]
This is the first of a couple of travel-related posts that we'd like to share with you. For Sherlockians willing to travel (or lucky enough to live in areas with active societies or related events), there is never a dearth of activity.
Weekend Events
The Game's Afoot - Friday evening, 8:30 p.m.
Join your fellow “partners in crime” for an exciting evening, as former President Benjamin Harrison joins the mayor and other dignitaries to honor the English duo. Mayhem ensues. The President is attacked. The mayor is appalled. Watson is perplexed. Holmes consults with the Capitol Gentlemen, fearing he is dealing with ruthless miscreants who would destroy the very foundations of this nation, during its time of greatest economic upheaval. And so it begins again for Holmes and Watson. Start to formulate your theories as Holmes and Watson set about solving the case at hand. The evening includes desserts, coffee and tea. A cash bar will be available. Registration begins at 8:00 p.m. and doors open for seating at 8:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for Victorian costumes.
Search for Clues Tour - Saturday afternoon, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Continue your search for the solution to the crime as you visit six of Cape May’s Victorian treasures. Perhaps you will encounter Holmes and Watson on their quest for clues as you enjoy your self-guided tour. Complete the answer sheet as you tour and maybe you will be the grand prizewinner!
The Game Continues in Mr. Holmes' Study - Saturday afternoon, 3:30 p.m.
It’s time to adjourn to Mr. Holmes’ study to witness the world’s foremost consulting detective as he unveils the clues to our mystery. How have you fared in your search? Is it really elementary?
