Seymour Public Library

The Seymour Library welcomes the musician historian Jim Lenn. Mr. Lenn will be at the Library to tell the story of a Connecticut original -- Ovation Guitars.
The company was founded by Charles Kaman in 1967 in New Hartford, Connecticut and came directly from work being done by the Kaman Company in the late Sixties in the burgeoning aerospace industry. Kaman decided that his company's engineers could apply it's modern technology and materials to his other interest--guitar making. The engineers through testing and research found that a different shape and using a man made material made a superior sound and tone to the traditional wooden instrument 
Mr. Lenn's talk on Ovation guitars will touch the history, design and the famous musicians that used the Ovation guitars. He will be ending his talk performing the music from artists such as Glenn Campbell, Cat Stevens, Simon &amp; Garfunkel, John Denver and more that loved and played on Ovations on his own Ovation.
Call the Library at 203-888-3903 for more information on this program. Registration is not necessary for this program.

Oxford High School

This hilarious play-within-a-play murder comedy full of accident prone thespians will leave you wondering, what was supposed to go right?
It’s the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, and things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show: an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!

The Seymour Library welcomes back Jason Scappaticci the Bowtie Historian. Mr. Scappaticci will give a talk on the history of The Harvey House -- which while unknown today were seminal in the making of the modern American restaurant.
The Harvey House is mostly known to modern Americans from the Judy Garland 1946&nbsp; movie "Harvey Girls" but the founder Fred Harvey in 1876 brought into existence the idea of a modern chain restaurant--uniform standards of food quality and matching service and later integrated with a hotel chain. Fred Harvey partnered with the Santa Fe Railroad and eventually spanned 12 states at the chain's height. The chain became known for the quality of it's food and its prim Harvey girl waitresses in the wilds of the American West.
American franchise restaurants owe a great deal to Fred Harvey.
Call the Library at 203-888-3903 for more information on this program.

St. Joseph High School

Where you go to high school matters. Make it count at St. Joseph High School. St. Joseph High School is a Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory school in Trumbull, Connecticut, dedicated to forming young men and women who are prepared to meet the challenges of the collegiate world and beyond. Our aspirational academics are intentionally designed to stretch students beyond curriculum to become problem solvers, critical thinkers, language aficionados, art lovers, and lifelong learners. More than typical college prep, SJ offers an experiential education that grows between the textbooks and classrooms; between students and faculty mentors; between the locker room and the field; and between faith, friendships, and family. As the largest co-ed Catholic high school in Connecticut, SJ gives students the opportunity to learn and connect across cultures, religions, and borders in a faith-based community that joyfully welcomes students of all beliefs. Students seek out their talents across academics, athletics, arts, clubs, and service; strive for greatness by expanding their boundaries; and serve the common good by embracing our motto, “With Privilege Comes Responsibility.” Our renowned athletic program builds community, character, and discipline while teaching life lessons that extend far beyond championship banners. Through service initiatives and spiritual formation, students deepen shared values, explore their faith, and uncover a sense of purpose that prepares them for lifelong self-direction. St. Joseph Cadets are on a mission: to be their best selves and to make their mark on the world. Learn more at sjcadets.org. Phone Number: 203-378-9378 ext 308 Email Address: admissions@sjcadets.org
