Dine and Discover program Tuesday, Aug. 10 in Pine River
Learn about unsolved mysteries of Cass County at the next Dine and Discover on Tuesday, August 10, 2010, at 11:30 a.m. at the Heartland Apartments Dining Room in Pine River. Free and open to the public, the Dine and Discover events are sponsored by the Lutheran Social Services Senior Nutrition Program and Faith in Action for Cass County. Community members are invited to join the group at the Senior Nutrition Site and listen to a guest speaker on a topic of interest to seniors, baby boomers, and caregivers.
Guest speakers will be the dynamic writing duo, Renee Geving and Cecelia McKeig, who recently produced their latest paperback entitled Murder and Mayhem about crimes in early Cass County, several of which have never been solved.
Renee Geving is from Walker and is director of the Cass County Museum. Cecelia is a resident of Federal Dam, and they have utilized newspaper archives and the state archives to put together these accounts.[[In-content Ad]]They will tell stories from their book of murder in the north woods, a gripping tale of love gone wrong, or an unsolved murder of a hundred years ago. The book follows newspaper accounts of the day and court records and addresses such pointed questions as: Who killed Patrick Hawley and buried his body in a manure pile? Who shot George Barclay on a cold October night at Pine River? Why was there only one hanging in Cass County?
Dine and Discover is an ongoing resource and information program on the second Tuesday of each month. The meal begins at 11:30 a.m. and there is a fee for the meal, with a suggested donation for seniors. For people who don't care to dine, the speaker and question time run from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and coffee will be provided. There is no cost for the speaker.
No reservations are needed to attend the speaker portion of the event - just come. The Heartland Apartments are located at 445 Snell Avenue in Pine River.
