Famed detective Sherlock Holmes to solve mystery in Cambridge, Ohio

Cambridge, OH (April 24, 2009) – The game’s afoot in Cambridge, Ohio where visitors will have a suspense-filled encounter with world-renowned detective Sherlock Holmes during the 2009-2010 holiday season.

 

The Cambridge/Guernsey County Visitors & Convention Bureau has added a special Sherlock Holmes Weekend mystery experience to the region’s growing Dickens Victorian Village (www.DickensVictorianVillage.com) holiday event.

 

Written by local playwright Anne Chlovechok, participants to the Sherlock Holmes Weekend January 8-10, 2010, will help solve the mystery of Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Taylor Tontine. Cambridge’s very own Colonel Taylor legacy is threatened by an ancient pledge with unforeseen and unavoidable contemporary ramifications.

 

Participants will get into the spirit by donning Victorian attire and wandering Cambridge’s picturesque streets in search of clues to solve the mystery and win the grand prize. The 60 Victorian scenes in Downtown Cambridge will set the tone for a Victorian weekend and will be used as places to find clues to the case. During this portion, participants will follow a map to places that have certain 'pre-placed' clues. Some of those clues will be contained in the Dickens scenes.

 

“We are entering into our fourth year with the Dickens Victorian Village and wanted to add something new,” Cambridge/Guernsey County VCB Director Debbie Robinson said. “We are currently developing special packages for the Sherlock Holmes Weekend and will have them available in the coming weeks online. We anticipate the weekend to be a popular addition and are looking forward to the event.”
