Willow, a sweet 10- month-old heeler/pit mix, is shy but definitely a darling. She came from another shelter and is looking for a home where she can feel safe and loved. Willow is good with other dogs and older children. She needs a soul mate and consistence in her life. Please come out and meet her.
Yes, it’s that time of the year again when we host our annual Murder Mystery Theater. This year’s production is Vanity Snare and features Corella De Vil, who is Cruella’s twin sister. Corella is an animal lover and fabulous fashion designer.
Corella has tried desperately to rehabilitate the family name through her generous philanthropic work in the animal community. She also owns a multibillion dollar corporation,101 Donations, the main division of which clothes homeless cats and dogs living on the streets. Corella De Vil, a diva, loves animals and hates humans.
On the eve of the year’s biggest fashion show, she is murdered. She’s rich and dead. There is a quirky cast of astonishing suspects who will delight and thrill you as the story unfolds.
Salamander McGrew is a former fashion designer and Corella’s husband. Daisy Kooks is Corella’s eccentric personal assistant. She’s not the brightest bulb in the shed but has southern charm. Bella Donna is Corella’s new-age top model. Mad Furry is a techie, stoner and PETA protester. Detective Fancy Mew is a temperamental detective with keen eyes, when they are open. She loves napping.
You will be called upon to solve the murder based on the clues you are able to discern during the performance. What could be more fun than figuring out who done it? If you have ever played the game Clue, this is the real-life version. Your job is to figure out who committed the fashion felony.
Please join us on Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Fallon Convention Center for a fun-filled night of excellent food, drinks, entertainment and auction. The doors open at 5 p.m., and the show starts at 6 p.m. The dinner will be served during intermission. There will be a cash bar serving wine, beer and soda. Tickets are $40 or $280 for a table of eight. Tickets can be purchased at Jeff’s Copy Express, 3-Dimension Shipping, Flower Tree Nursery and the CAPS shelter.
