Seeking All "Wannabe" Mystery Sleuths

Delta, BC - Can you solve this Mystery in the Museum?  It's June 26th, 1928.
It's your first day on the job as a new Delta police constable, and you've
already got a case to solve.  There's been a burglary at Pansy Mae's Ranch &
Boarding House in Tsawwassen.  You have a house full of suspects and you
must use the evidence to determine who took the missing money and jewels.
Can you capture the criminal before it's too late? Use your detective skills
to solve this dastardly deed in Delta!

The Delta Museum is looking for detectives to help solve the latest "Mystery
in the Museum" and locate the burglar. Back by popular demand, this popular
children's fun-filled adventure offered by the Delta Museum & Archives
Society during Summer Break, is a self-guided drop-in program.  To solve the
case you will need to follow the clues and uncover evidence throughout the
Museum.  As you move from clue to clue, the evidence you discover will bring
you closer to solving what was taken and the who and why behind this year's
"Mystery in the Museum".

"Mystery in the Museum" will run August 16 to 20 from 10:00am to 4:30pm.
Please allow a minimum of one hour to collect all the evidence and solve the
mystery.  Children under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
Pre-registration is not required. Cost is $5.00 per clue kit.  

The Museum, housed in the historical 1912 Tudor-style building located in
the heart of Ladner Village at 4858 Delta Street, tells Delta's rich history
through exciting exhibits, fun activities and special programs for both
children and adults and is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00am to 4:30pm.  For
