Join Rande Davis on August 11th at 7:00 p.m. for a special Monocacy Monocle Mystery History – Historic Medley District Tidbits. Rande will tell us about the Historic Medley District organization, recount historical tidbits from his treasure trove of stories regarding the John Poole House and test your knowledge in a “Trivial Pursuit” like format that will be fun for the whole family. You might come away with a local “tidbit” of another kind.
