Support The Forum: Murder Mystery Auction

by Maureen Lovett

THE LEATHERS-SNYDER B&B (in support of the New City Arts Initiative*) is auctioning: A Night of Murder, Mayhem and Mystery!

 

It was a cold March evening, in 1892—a party was about to begin in the stately home of Captain and Madame Ne’erdowell, when a murder was discovered! All guests attending the event were implicated. Was it Professor Poindexter in the Parlor, Scarlet O’Hara in the Hothouse or Chef Clementine in the Kitchen?

OR maybe it was YOU?!

Bid to win a spirit-filled evening at the Leathers B&B and discover who among your friends is the true culprit!

- Participants receive clues in advance and attend in character.

- Guests will enjoy champagne, hors d’oeuvres (provided by Everyday Cafe), and dessert during the evening, while roaming through the Victorian Inn!

- Game scripts for 6-8 participants (… costumes are up to you!)

 

Bidding begins at $400—approx. donation of $50-66 per person. Bids accepted through Feb 25th. Murder by appointment only, subject to availability of Inn. Send letter of intent to Susan or call 434-974-7285.

 

*Auction to benefit Arts Forum April 20-22, 2012. This event is a collaborative effort among Charlottesville arts organizations, local businesses, and the University community.
