"Who REALLY Killed Roger Ellington? The Case of the Evil Aviator"

Friday or Saturday, October 29 or 30, 2010

Celebrate Hallowe'en in style and solve a "whale of a mystery." Roger Ellington, died in a plane crash in front of the Inn and almost immediately, the police investigation revealed that foul play was a fact and that, indeed, someone had killed poor Roger - either before or after his plane crashed into the icy waters of Abalone Cove. Was it just one person? or were more involved? That is the mystery you, our detectives, will solve.

Come to the Inn on either Friday, October 29th, or Saturday, October 30th, and solve the heinous crime. Guests will enjoy a night at the Inn, the murder mystery itself which starts at 4 pm with wine & appetizers along with the introduction of the suspects, a fabulous gourmet dinner, and a wonderful breakfast the next morning.

Suspects will be introduced to our investigators at 4 pm on Friday and Saturday (you decide which day you choose to attend). Two hours of finding clues, speaking with the suspects (who will be wandering about the grounds and public rooms of the Inn going about their usual business or activities), and watching our suspects interact with each other (they too will be wanting to learn more as they want to be sure that they are not implicated in this nasty crime!).

Packages range from $249 to $289. Local residents may also choose to enjoy the mystery and dinner only for $120 per couple.

For further information, call 707-677-3425

NOTE: we will be repeating this popular mystery at least once in the winter or spring - keep checking back for details if you cannot make our Hallowe'en special weekend.
