After 15 years of dedicated writing, JR Hartley’s sequel, ‘Fly Fishing in Southwestern Pennsylvania’, has finally been finished and launched onto general sale. Keen to raise awareness of the book release, the author has been touring the country hosting book signings in local libraries.

This evening, at the Old Cambria Library, JR Hartley and his agent, Paige Turner, were hoping for a big turnout. However, before the book signing could commence, JR Hartley was discovered dead in the Local History section, trapped between the moving shelves!

Contrary to popular belief, he wasn’t actually old enough to have died of natural causes. It looks like somebody’s fingers did the talking and choked the life out of him! But who could have wanted this harmless man dead, and why?

Beginning at 6:30pm, as our guest you’ll enjoy live jazz with Joshua Ben, heavy hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Then you'll watch the story play out before your eyes, throughout the Johnstown Flood Museum, while you try to solve the mystery! Directed by Tamera Gindlesperger-Fisher and co-directed by Rebekah Hurley, our all-star cast includes Mike Beech, Ben Berkebile, Kate Davis, Bowen Fisher, Christina Fosbrink, Sam Johns, and Troy Smajda. You’ll hunt for clues as they enact the story. You’ll also come across our celebrity detective, Marty Radovanic, who will be on hand to reveal the solution. 1930s era-appropriate attire encouraged!

You will be assigned to a team of 4 to 6 members. If you plan to attend with friends and wish to be on the same team, please buy your tickets as a group or contact Deb Winterscheidt at dwinterscheidt@jaha.org.

Sponsorship levels are listed below. You can also download a form, here, or contact Deb Winterscheidt at 814-539-1889 x315.
