I have been at the Herkimer County Historical Society twice in the last two days concerning the next murder mystery, A Revolutionary Murder, which will be presented on Saturday, April 25 to benefit the Historical Society. I thought I might give a little teaser about that.
Wednesday when I stopped by, it was for dramatic purposes. Without going into too much detail, a character reports that a cell phone was blown clear and landed in a bush. In fiction (and probably real life too, but I don’t know too much about that), it is nice to be exact. Not just “a bush” but “an azalea bush” or “a hydrangea bush.” So I stopped to ask what kind of bush grows around the historical society.
Oh, no, not that kind of bush!
I guess by two weeks from now the bushes will not really be that far along, but I hardly think the audience will call me out on that. Several bushes that will be there as spring and summer wear on, and I think I am going to settle on Bleeding Heart, just for the reference to blood (you should see the fliers!) (which you can see on the Historical Society’s Facebook page).
Aren’t they cute?
Yesterday I stopped by to see if they had some tickets I could bring to the Elks Lodge, in case any members wanted to purchase them. On the way out, I took the two pictures I just used as illustrations. I mostly took them because I tend to take pictures of everything I see growing. I try not to let winter drag me down, but oh, do I love the rebirth of spring!
Funny to be enjoying rebirth when I am about to kill somebody off for fun and non-profit, but so it is. A Revolutionary Murder will be presented Saturday, April 25 at the Herkimer Elks Lodge, 124 Mary St., Herkimer, NY, doors open at 5 p.m., dinner at 6 p.m. Tickets are $45 for individuals, $80 per couple, available at the Historical Society, 315-866-6413.
