"Bullets 'N' Barbecue"...

Murder Mystery Dinner: Town of Drygulch Western Frontier, 1872 You are invited to mosey on over to the Paradise Saloon for some western hospitality and a feed of good grub. That is just what we did Saturday to celebrate my Mom's 50Th Birthday! It is the wild west in the year 1872. On a clear July morning, dawn is just breaking over the tiny frontier town of Drygulch when a single gunshot rings out. The townsfolk rush to the scene and are horrified to find their sheriff, Take Noble, sprawled in the dust, dead from a gunshot wound. He was bushwacked from behind and you are a suspect. Juan Bandito: A Mexican Bandit played by Cory and my Dad Sally Forth: Attractive English Lady played by the Birthday Girl, Sheryl Rowdy Azell: A smooth-talking, fast-dealing gambler played by Shawn and James Miss Patience: The town's prim and pretty school marm played by Dessica Doc Mallard: The Doctor of the good folks of Drygulch for the past 30 years played by Grandma Bev Bibi Gunn: An entertainer working at the Paradise saloon played by Erika Our Host and Cook: Grandma Mary Our host and cook for the evening.

Noah came after to join in on the fun!

The Birthday Girl...and the Murderer!

This was not revealed to any of us until the end. So when we were all given the parts before hand we had no idea the Murderer would end up being the Birthday Girl!

Grandma Mary had the house decorated so well and put so much work into making the evening come alive for us.

We were not the smoothest actors and actresses and figuring out the mystery was confusing at times but by the end we had figured our parts out. We laughed until are guts hurt! Was a fun evening had by all!
