Saturday,
November 4 -- You do NOT register for this event. If you would like to participate in
this years Murder Mystery Night, just show up. Cost is $5.00 per
adult, children 12 and under are FREE! When you show up, the
people at the gate will give you a brochure. On the front of the
brochure it will give you a little story as to what has happened the night
of the murder. Inside the brochure will give you a brief description
of all the characters. On the back of the brochure is your
ballot. Your job is to find out who did the murder. The answer
is released that night at 10:00pm. If you leave before then, just give
us a call at the office the next morning. If you have never been to a
murder mystery before, the closest thing to it is the game 'Clue'. And
speaking of clues...

The year, 1899.
The place, Chevelleton. The problem, a new business owner.
The result, MURDER. But just who killed whom? Mr
Cartwheel the buggy business owner was a man who wanted all to have a
cart or a buggy. Why he would even finance and get you a horse if
necessary. Mr. Cartwheel had a faithful employee that would help him keep the finances in order and repair damaged buggies when needed.
Meet Mrs. Black she doesn't play cards yet she has been down a hard road being a widow two times now.
The Doctor was doing well until Tuesday night. This death has left him with little to say. What happened on Tuesday night that would make everyone so upset?
The Mayor, having only the best interest of the town in mind, was trying to address and rectify a community
problem. Mrs.
Nickel, the storekeeper's wife was entertaining company Tuesday
evening while Mr. Nickel was out. Mr. Nickel was outraged that
night to hear what he heard from the Mayor. We must remember,
that things are not always as we perceive them to be.
It was a beautiful
day for young Daphne Cartwheel's trip to the store on Tuesday by
herself. Was
this a sign of later things to come or maybe something else ..... no,
couldn't be. Mrs.
Cartwheel travelling alone on Tuesday as well - an omen - or possibly
something more? Don't
miss the opportunity to solve this most perfectly planned plot against
the buggy business owner Mr. Cartwheel.
See
ya all at the Village
Saturday, November 4, at 6:00pm.
