It’s a murder mystery with a Mardi Gras theme, and it’s happening Saturday, August 10 at the Estill County Fair Barn.
With the help of the River City Players Community Theater Group in Irvine, local organizers are planning a night to remember. With a served meal and lots of drama, guests will enjoy puzzling through the question of who committed murder at the Mardi Gras masquerade ball set in the Garden District Mansion of Pierre and Melissa DuPre.
The murder mystery begins with the invitation:

Tickets are $50 each and include dinner, the murder mystery, and access to the silent auction. RSVPs are requested by August 1st on our secure online site or by calling Lauren at 859-986-1500. Tickets may also be purchased at the door. Seating is limited, however, so guests are encouraged to make their reservations by August 1.
Special thanks to the event’s sponsors and to organizers Sheri Flynn, Erin Leach, Michelle Osborne, Tina Pasley, Regina Robertson, Kathy Samples, Lauren Van Winkle, and Amber Venable. All proceeds go to Hospice Care Plus.
For more information, contact Lauren at 859-986-1500 or visit the event’s page on Facebook.
