Another great mruder mystery with a sold out crowd

Once again Micki and Larrys Sports Pub put on a fabulous murder mystery dinner show. The show was sold out weeks before the event and the crowd was dressed and ready to go.
The theme this time was pirate with many wenches and scallwags in attendence.
The goal was to figure out whodunit...the twists though were plentiful and hilarious.
Was it Captain Redbeard (Ralph Copeland) who was angered about mutiny rumors that killed his first mate Merciless Morgan (Gary Taylor)? Or was it the galley wench Gurglin' Uma Scar (Stacey Nolan) who didn't want to share any of the hidden treasure, the Merchant Sailor (Ken Osteen) who was desperately hiding his past as a pirate or the Governor of Port Royal (John Maness) who declared he would rid the port city of all pirates? Everyone had reason to want Merciless gone...yet there was only one killer.

The cast consisted of volunteer actors from all over Copperopolis wanting to join in an evening of fun and frivolity along with a little pillaging and plundering. Thanks to:
Kathi and Ralph Copeland

Kudos to Micki and Larry, owners of the Sports Pub, for holding events that raise much needed funds for local community organizations and charities. To date they have held three murder mystery dinners and have raised funds for cancer research, VFW Post 12118, and the Copperopolis Volunteer Fire Department.

Many party goers came in costume and two wenches and two pirates were voted as best dressed by the crowd. Jacquie and Melanie were the best dressed wenches and Steve and Larry were the best dressed pirates.

If you missed this murder mystery be sure to keep and eye out for the upcoming event scheduled for December...it is rumored to be a black tie affair.
