Peninsula Productions present the Canadian premiere of Ken Ludwig’s play.
Set in 1936 at Gillette Castle, Connecticut, a guest of the castle is murdered, and the world-renowned actor, William Gillette resumes his role as Sherlock Holmes to solve the crime.

2. “Reichenbach Falls” Excursion – July 13
After our ceremonial wreath-toss and picnic, (please see the previous post) we make our way to “Toad Hall” with a slight detour to visit the grave-site of Margaret Denison, mother of Vincent Starrett. We will show our respects by reciting her son’s poem, “221b” and remembering what a great influence she was on her son’s life. If anyone requires a ride, please let me know.

Fran: I can see Shannon Falls provincial Park on the map, off 99, north of Horseshoe Bay.
Is there any particular route to follow once we enter the park to get to the picnic area (for 10am)?
Cheers!
