Holmes in the Heartland: Day 1

We had a great turnout for our first day of Holmes in the Heartland!  Our group met in the lobby of the National Blues Museum and had time to mingle and meet some new folks.  Plenty of local Sherlockians were on hand, as well as our speakers and visitors from plenty of other states! 

We had the museum to ourselves and spent 45 minutes walking through and checking out lots of displays, videos, and interactive exhibits.  If you've never been to The National Blues Museum, it's a great spot in downtown St. Louis!  Even if you're not a fan of blues music, there are plenty of hands-on activities and ties to other forms of music to make it a must see when you're in town.

After we'd exhausted the museum, our crowd filtered into Sugarfire Smokehouse right next door.  We commandeered a big table in the middle of the restaurant, and still had some folks on a spillover table!  It was great to see everyone intermixing with other attendees.  The St. Louis Sherlockians were mixed all throughout the group and having some great conversations with our out of town visitors.  A lot of new friendships were formed over BBQ tonight. 

Registration starts at 10:00 sharp tomorrow morning.  See you for a curious collection of speakers followed by a great dinner and social time!
