MONROEVILLE, JUNE 29, 2015 – The Monroeville/Monroe County Chamber of Commerce invites all of our members to join in a celebration for the release of Harper Lee’s Go Set A Watchman on Tuesday, July 14th. The Monroeville/Monroe County Chamber of Commerce is planning an all day Open House, and encourages the business community to join in with its own welcoming plans for area residents and guests in celebration of the publication of Watchman. At the chamber office, teacakes and lemonade will be served, while 1950’s music plays in the background.
According to publisher Harper Collins, Watchman takes place twenty years after To Kill A Mockingbird and features the older Scout, returning to her hometown. “We want to honor Harper Lee, our most famous citizen, and thank her for the gift of the publication of this book,” says Chamber of Commerce President Harvey Gaston. Gaston also plays Atticus in the local production of “To Kill A Mockingbird.”
Copies of Go Set A Watchman are for sale at a variety of businesses in Monroeville, for those who would like to purchase a copy in Harper Lee’s hometown. Walking tours of the town will also be offered on that day.
Both the Monroe County Heritage Museum, the Monroe County Public Library and several area businesses will also have activities planned for this special day celebrating the town’s most famous author.
A complete schedule of events for July 14th activities surrounding the book release will be available on the chamber website by July 9th.
