Tea Cup Mysteries present..
Murder
at the
Buccaneer Inn
When the feuding
descendants of
Caribbean Pirates meet together
in
an effort to save the Buccaneer
Inn,
they are thwarted at every turn
by
the ghost of Captain Gray
Beard,the
original owner of the inn, who
wants the inn all to
himself.
Find the clues that will lead to the lost treasure that will pay
the taxes for the
Buccaneer Inn and help solve the mystery that breaks
the curse.
If you love the idea of blustery
pirates, swashbuckling heroes,
tavern
wenches and treasure hunts, you
will
love this mystery
tea.

Historical Murals
This is the
first draft of 3 to 4 historical murals being planned for the area
behind the Grand Theatre in Lancaster. More things will be added
& a few things will be tweaked. This is representing the Paint
Lick area - Kennedy Plantation, Uncle Tom's cabin, Walker Fox
Hounds (my heritage), one of the first horse races in the area
& tobacco cutting. This wonderful painting was done by James
Crow, a famous equestrian artist, who is one of Garrard County's
treasures. We are raising funds for the murals through grants,
donations and in-kind resources.
Jean Turner, Arts Council
If you would like more
information, please contact Jean at Hammonds Hall Bed &
Breakfast, 859-792-6632.
