5:30-8:30PM Teen After Hours: Hollywood Murder Mystery @ Golden Library
Teens are invited to put on their sleuthing hats and hit the pavement in the City of Angels to solve this Hollywood murder case!
Questions abound when a movie star is found shot to death on the backlots of a major film studio. Did a movie-making rivalry run amok off the silver screen? Were there unpaid debts to the powerful mob boss? Is something even more salacious simmering beneath the surface?
Teen detectives will examine the crime scene, navigate a map of Los Angeles in search of clues, interview informants, and evaluate alibis to crack the case.
Costumes are optional but registration is required. ONLY teens in 6th through 12th grade will be allowed into this program. Please respect this age limit for safety and to encourage peer learning with other teens.

Golden History: Another Odd Mascot
Colorado Transcript - March 27, 1913
Click to enlarge
113 Years Ago
The March 27, 1913 Colorado Transcript included this advertisement from Fromhart Hardware, urging readers to get ready for spring with a new plow.
The character in this ad appeared weekly in the paper during 1913 and 1914. Based on his attire, he may be a baby, though in many of the drawings, he looks more like a gremlin. Assuming he was a baby, it's a little disconcerting to note that he was always handling sharp objects--axes, hatchets, saws, scythes, drills, carving knives, etc. When he wasn't wielding a sharp object, it's because he was aiming a gun.
You may recall the article I published in December--"The Era of Creepy Mascots"--about the creature (possibly a monkey) that appeared in Lemert & Co. ads from 1916 to 1918. Lemert was the same hardware business under a later owner. Apparently, the taste in advertising art was inherited with the business.
