Goose Eye No. 5 Launch Party
Presented by the Museums of the Bethel Historical Society at Pleasant Valley Commons 5pm – 7pm
We're celebrating the launch of the fifth issue of our annual history journal, Goose Eye, with a party at the Pleasant Valley Commons (721 West Bethel Road, West Bethel), formerly the Pleasant Valley Grange Hall. Pick up your copy of the new issue, and enjoy a traditional Grange supper starting at 5:00 p.m. At 6:00 p.m., we'll be joined by video link for brief remarks by special guest, America's Puzzlemaster, Will Shortz. Goose Eye contributor Larry Glatz will then present a program on Edwin R. Briggs, a nineteenth century puzzle editor from West Bethel, Maine. Goose Eye No. 5 is entitled, "West Bethel's Enigmatic History," and focuses on the history of West Bethel Village. The featured story is Glatz's article, "A West Bethel Puzzler: The Enigmas of Edwin Ruthven Briggs (1841-1923)," which Will Shortz has called, "a masterful history of Briggs and puzzledom as it existed in his day . . . wonderfully colorful, richly detailed and researched!" Program is free, with donations grateful accepted
