| There is a Judy Bolton Group on Yahoo Groups! "This is a group designed for those that enjoy Margaret Suttons Series Judy Bolton. It is for the serious collector as well as the not so serious collector. Join us for fun spirited discussion of Judy Bolton and all her adventures as well as the life and times of Margaret Sutton." |
| Back in 1960 a fan named Marguerite wrote to Margaret Sutton and asked her for a recipe for a Girl Scout troop project. Marguerite has been kind enough to share both Margaret's reply and recipe! |

| The Judy Bolton books, written by Margaret Sutton, were a popular girls mystery series. The first 4 volumes were published in 1932 by Grosset and Dunlap. The series continued until 1967 and consisted of 38 volumes. Each book was "based on something that actually happened" and many were also based on real life sites. More than 4 million copies were sold and the books are still popular among collectors such as the Phantom Friends. Fortunately, some volumes of the Judy Bolton mystery series are being published again by Applewood Books and Aeonian Press. Sadly, Margaret Sutton passed away on June 21, 2001. She was 98 years old. |

On Saturday the group tours sites that were inspirations for Sutton's mysteries including the broken dam and the mansion. The town holds its Falling Leaves Festival on the courthouse square on Saturday, so there's lots to do. The evening activities at the Westgate Inn include presentations by Judy Bolton collectors, trivia contests, and a recently discovered story in rhyme, written in 1918 in a mysterious code! If you can't attend, copies of Sutton's coded letter are available from the author's daughter, Lindsay, email strohlin@verizon.net.
