Whether he is guilty of these crimes or not remains to be seen. Nonetheless, the damage is done: The neighbors hate him.
In an effort to mend fences and reverse bad first impressions, Ricki invites the neighbors to a good old-fashioned dinner. But when the guests arrive, they find something quite unexpected. Ricki Mortis is dead.
You're invited to help solve help solve the mystery Saturday, Jan. 30, during "Welcome to the Neighborhood," a Mystery Dinner at the Arthur J. Moore Methodist Museum at Epworth by the Sea.
According to museum director Judi Fergus, selected dinner guests are assigned various roles in the story. "You won't know until it starts who is involved and who isn't," Fergus explained. "They're really a lot of fun."
Cost for the Mystery Dinner is $40 per person and includes three-course dinner and beverages. Seating is limited to the first 60 people. For information or reservations, please call (912) 638-4050.
