Trixie Tie-In:  Mystery of the Queen's Necklace

Dates:  August 30 - September 2

Package Cost:  $440

To quote the Bard, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."  Since it would be quite difficult to arrange Trixie Camp in Great Britain, we can use Niagara Falls as a stage and all the various sites nearby as players in the re-enactment of the Bob-White's trip to merry old England.
