Night at Owl's Nest to Benefit Literary Unlimited

FRAMINGHAM, MA -- The Literacy Unlimited program in the Framingham Public Library is holding its "Midwinter's Extravaganza" at Owl's Nest Farm in Framingham, 429 Belknap Road, from 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, February 3. Beat the winter blahs and help a good cause at the same time!

There will be an international buffet dinner, open bar, musical show, silent auction, and last but not least, tours of Owl's Nest Farm, a century old, 9,000 square foot house that has been featured on Channel 5's Chronicle program and the Boston Globe.

The house is unusual -- not just for its size, but for the wonderful museum quality collections it houses. From an 1884 music box to a 1933 Steinway grand piano to a room devoted to antique dolls, Owl's Nest Farm surprises you at every corner. There's the Mickey Mouse room, the
Egyptian room, and a pool table in the ballroom. As owner Bruce Davis says, "I don't collect just anything. It has to have character, be interesting or I don't want it."

Your tour of this home is sure to be fascinating and delightful.

Tickets cost $75 each and may be purchased by calling 508-879-3570, ext. 214 or by emailing _FPL4@minlib.net_ (mailto:FPL4@minlib.net) . Your generous contribution is fully tax deductible to the extent allowable under law.
