A Murder Mystery Dinner Fundraiser Presented by Preservation Zebulon

It’s 1978, and it should be a night of disco, dancing and…possibly death! The highlight of the evening is the huge Disco Dance contest. The winning prize is a trip for two to New York City for the chance to dance on the Grammy Awards, and $10,000 in prize money. This is an opportunity that could make someone a star; it could also be a motivation for murder! So, put on your platforms, unleash your leisure suit and hustle to the beat…we’re going to have a party tonight!

With this eclectic group of guests, one never knows what will happen. In the event of a shocking crime, it will be up to you and your table of fellow sleuths to discover who could commit such an evil deed. So, think of a clever name for your table, er, detective agency and listen carefully for clues. At the designated time, your agency will be asked to formulate a question that your delegated chief detective will ask a suspect. Once all tables have completed their questioning, each detective agency will submit a solution sheet indicating “who done it” and why. The first agency to name the most correct motive and culprit wins.

Proceeds from our fundraiser will help us with our goal to establish National Register historic districts in Zebulon. Preservation Zebulon advocates for the preservation of historic buildings and landscapes that embody important elements of the history and culture of Zebulon and promotes their conservation for the enrichment of residents and businesses.
