Murder at the Christmas Gala
This Isn't Your Ordinary Crafting Party
A beloved festival director is discovered dead inside her office just as the annual Christmas Gala is about to begin and a cherished emblem is found to be missing. Upon the arrival of gala guests, secrets begin to emerge - leaving everyone to determine who wanted to keep discoveries hidden.
Just one little problem...
The killer is still amongst us and everyone is a suspect. Yes, you too!
Join BeeWinged for an interactive evening of crafting, mystery, and suspense as we create a beautiful textured, jeweled Christmas tree canvas while uncovering hidden clues throughout the event.
No acting experience is necessary. Simply create, investigate, and enjoy a completely different kind of crafting party. Feel free to dress in your most festive attire (aprons will be available).
This event includes a dessert bar with hot cider, cocoa & coffee.
This is a ticketed event. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

Project of the Evening
BeeJeweled Textured Christmas Tree
While solving the mystery, each guest will create a festive Christmas tree canvas to display as part of their home Christmas decor. Starting with a prepared canvas, participants will build their tree using various materials like spackle, paint and jewels. Every tree will be different and represent the artist.
Guests can choose between working with a navy blue or gold canvas. Please choose your color at ticket purchase so canvases can be pre-prepped for you.
