Young Professionals Socialize at Mark Twain

The Mark Twain House & Museum invites all Young Professionals – Twainiacs and Twain-novices alike — to Sam’s Summer Social, a celebration of summer that will be sure to make your moustache turn up at the corners.

For $10 ($5 for members), guests will be invited to wet their whiskers with ice cream from the University of Connecticut’s world-famous Dairy Bar and a refreshing 44North Huckleberry Vodka Lemonade. The popular Hartford area band String Theorie will play live music on the porch of the author’s historic home.

The event will take place Wednesday, July 14, at 5:30 pm.

Also in the spirit of sociability, the neighborly Harriet Beecher Stowe Center is providing its lawn between the historic homes in order for partygoers to play badminton, croquet, and Frisbee. Picnic blankets are highly encouraged. In the event of in-Clemens weather, Sam’s Summer Social will move inside with other fun activities.

Idaho’s 44 North Vodka is providing its Huckleberry Vodka, which the Twain House will mix with the Huckleberry Lemonade it sells in its Museum Store. Guests will receive one free drink and a cash bar will also be available.

Catie Talarski, producer of Where We Live on WNPR and moustache enthusiast, will select the best real and fake moustaches by the end of the evening. Winners will receive moustache-themed prizes from the Museum Store. Moustaches are not required to enjoy the evening!

String Theorie is a neo-classical indie world folk jazz band from Central Connecticut that brings together finger-style acoustic guitar, modern bass technique, and a wide variety of world percussion to forge a sound that can’t really be described in words.
