ON AUGUST 18, 2018 WE HELD A MURDER MYSTERY MASQUERADE – This event was held on the grounds of Scott & Jodie Smith’s home on Long Point (overlooking Lake Erie). almost 200 people came and, we can honestly say, everyone had a great time. There were costumes, masks, glittery dresses, New Orleans style dinner, and, unfortunately, someone did die (but not our hostess)!
Why a Murder Mystery? and Why Long Point? Actually there have been two murder mysteries associated with this part of the Island.In 1872 Elizebeth Selfe disappeared from her home and her body was found washed up on the shore. Islanders firmly believed she was the victim of foul play. In 1984 Thomas Hoyt Jones Jr., who lived at the tip of Long Point, was murdered. His assailant was found and convicted.
A BIG THANK YOU – Our thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the Murder Mystery such a great success. As a way of saying thanks we gave each one a complimentary ticket to the event. If they had time (and we hope they did) they got to sit down and have dinner sometime during the night.
