Tickets On Sale For Huge Webster House Fundraiser

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A single letter makes all the difference regarding a major fundraiser for the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society.

Add in an "L" and the event is an apocalyptic tale of an alien invasion that nearly destroys the planet.

But, thankfully, the event is called "War of the Words," an appropriate name for an event benefiting an organization named for the father of the modern dictionary.

And, tickets are on sale now for a multi-tiered fundraiser that includes everything from wine tastings, auctions, and, even, a "game show" program where words are the object toward victory.

The fund-raiser, which features virtual and in-person components, is May 11 and it is comprised of a showing of the "War of the Words" game show at the Webster House, 227 S. Main St., West Hartford.

At 6:30 p.m. that night, guests can partake in wine-tasting, and blues music, and be the studio audience for the "game show," which starts at 7 p.m.

This component is limited to 100 guests and tickets are expected to go fast.

For those not able to attend, but still wanting to donate to the museum/historical society, "War of the Words" has a virtual component.

This includes both an online auction as well as virtual access to watch the game show live via a stream.

The Webster House has set up an easy-to-use web page on its website for folks interested in supporting one of the town's biggest attractions and tourist spots.
