Did you know we have a Puzzle Mania? I did not! Tickets are on sale now for the Friends of Music’s Sixth Annual “Puzzle Mania” jigsaw puzzle competition. The event will be held at the Shepherd University Wellness Center in Shepherdstown, WV from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m on Sunday, March 27 this year. This is a fundraiser for the Two Rivers Chamber Orchestra. The Friends of Music is a Shepherdstown-based non-profit organization that was founded in 1999 to support and promote musical excellence. It supports the Two Rivers Chamber Orchestra, the only professional chamber orchestra in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, and it provides grants and scholarships to support music education in local schools.
The jigsaw puzzle competition will consist of teams of up to four persons each. Most teams will start with the same 500-piece puzzle and vie to complete the puzzle first. To help level the playing field, teams that have won easily in the past will get a larger puzzle to solve in the same time period. The first-, second-, and third-place teams will be acknowledged and rewarded for their efforts. Most participants will want to recruit their own team or teams from friends, neighbors or family members. Each team will be limited in size to no more than four people.
