| Where We Live Murder Mystery Event - Murder in Margaritaland!> |
An interactive mystery event where you might be the
key witness, the victim, or even....THE MURDERER!
key witness, the victim, or even....THE MURDERER!
| Our second Murder Mystery Event, Murder at the Juice Joint, was a great success! Thanks to all who attended! |
| A clever concoction of Chaos, Crime & Cocktails in the Caribbean. Somewhere in the tropics between the Port of Indecision and Southwest of Disorder you’ll find that murder meets mayhem and the intrigue begins! While most vacation at Margaritaland, an exclusive tropical resort, to get away from their troubles, for one unfortunate soul, it will mean the end of their travels all together. Has the lottery winner’s luck run out? Will it be the bartender who has served his last drink? Is the honeymoon over for the newlyweds before it even began? Or will the stars collide for one Hollywood superstar? At the resort, the guilty will mingle among the guests and everyone will be left with the task of deciphering between the facts and falsehoods that plague this paradise in order to make a killer pay for their crime. |

Community Center into a tropical island

started digging out each other's secrets.

declared top notch (by popular
vote!): Guy Auger, as the
trouble-making, womanizing,
dope-dealing (I PROMISE that those
hand-rolled cigarettes he was
"selling" were 100% legit!!) Cabana
Bob won the crowd over and took
home top honors in the "Drama
Queen" and "Best Costume"
categories. For the ladies, Sherry
Stocks was the crowd's pick as
best-dressed, in her tropical
ensemble, and Margaret
Breitwieser was the easy favorite as
the cross-dressing Bus Boy.
Maureen Dewire ONCE AGAIN
earned/stole/finagled the most money
out of her fellow party goers and took
home the Moneybags award. (HOW
DOES SHE DO IT????)
