The Plot

[[Desperate to bolster his circus from a dog-and-pony show to a spectacle that will rival Ringling, Harold Hargrove’s dire attempts to lure audiences and show-stopping attractions have created rivalries that extend beyond the center ring.
As the pressure builds, a murder is committed that steals the show... and you are left to un- cover the culprit before the final act.
Was it the raging ringmaster in an attempt to clean up the spectacle? The talented tight rope walker whose fall took them out of the limelight? A revolting roustabout with revenge in their veins? Or possibly a possessive performer whose death-defying demeanor went too far.]]

Guests entered a world of fabulous freaks, exotic acts and mysterious management....

The winery was turned into the circus and guests arrived in character... Let the show begin!! Two envelopes were found at each plate... Envelope A was immediately opened and held information to get the evening started. C.J. Callaways started the meal out with sliced beef tenderloin which was paired to our Frontenac wine while everyone mingled and completed their initial objectives. A delicious spinach salad with lemon poppyseed dressing was served at the tables for the second course and paired with Traminette. The main course was an incredible pork osso bucco with potatoes and vegetables and paired with Deebo. Then to finish with dessert, a pecan delight was served with our Frontenac Gris. Then the moment we were all waiting for... The murder... ;) The investigation then took place as everyone put the evidence together to try to figure out, "who dunnit". Awards and bottles of wine were given out to those with extra sleuthing skills who figured out who the "murderer" was as well as the "dressed to kill" award, "drama queen" award, and the "Ms. Money Bags", award. Thank you to all who came out for the evening! We had a great time and look forward to our next event, "The Perfect Pair," to celebrate Valentines Day.
