The halls are decked, and Rose is hosting her first Victorian Light Party around the holidays!

The first house in town to have electricity, all of Rockford's elite are in attendance. Known for her flair for over-the-top events, everyone has decided to attend, either out of respect for the hostess, curiosity of electricity, or for the chance to socialize with the upper echelon of Rockford society.
Unfortunately for the happy party goers, no one knows that there is a killer in their midst who plans to strike tonight!
Tickets to this event are $25/non-members, $20/members. You can purchase your tickets by calling our office at 815-964-2424 or through our website: www.tinkercottage.com
*All games begin at the Barn and continue to the Cottage where guests will actively explore the public rooms. All who attend are active participants in the Murder Mystery - there are no paid actors. YOU will be the actor in this event. Dinner is not provided; however, water bottles will be provided. The Rockford Park District grounds do not allow smoking, alcohol, or weapons. Period costumes are welcome but not required.*
