Attention Sherlock Holmes Fans!

Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Oshkosh Jewel Heist, July 30 1 to 5 p.m., downtown Oshkosh.

There is a mystery stirring in downtown Oshkosh, and it is up to you to solve it. The Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District (BID) along the Oshkosh Public Museum would like to invite the public to join us in a hunt to solve The Mystery of the Oshkosh Jewel Heist.

Read installments of the locally written “Sherlock Holmes & the Mystery of the Oshkosh Jewel Heist,” at the Oshkosh Public Library website. Additional chapters will be posted each week, leading up to a big event on July 30.

The mystery event will be held Friday July 30th in downtown Oshkosh. This free family event begins at 1 p.m. and ends at 5 p.m. Dress in costume as you visit downtown businesses to collect a series of clues. These clues will test the observation, logical reasoning and forensic science skills of the detectives. They will also help to aid the detectives on their quest to solve The Mystery of the Oshkosh Jewel Heist.

The case will end with the final clue to be solved at the Oshkosh Public Library. The reward for solving the mystery is valued at over $350.

The Mystery of the Oshkosh Jewel Heist is sponsored in partnership with the Oshkosh Public Museum’s Sherlock Holmes and the Clocktower Mystery exhibit. The exhibit, on display at the museum through August 22, 2010, challenges visitors to solve the crime of a puzzling murder. The hugely successful Sherlock Holmes and the Clocktower Mystery has toured throughout the United States and has attracted more than 2,000,000 visitors.
