The Great Bissell Bake-Off Murder Mystery

The annual Bissell Baking Competition is underway, but who will this year’s winner be? As the reigning champion, Ginger B. Reed is throwing an afternoon tea to size up her competitors and you are invited! Who will rise to the challenge in this year’s competition: her sister Anise? Her spice supplier Caraway Grant? Ginger’s paramour Erastus Vibert? Or perhaps one of the no-good drifters in town is up to something. Will the friendly competition remain sweet, or is there more something far more bitter afoot?

Step into the 1920s for a Murder Mystery Tea featuring wacky characters and nods to South Windsor’s past. Costumes are encouraged and character roles are available for audience members (contact Amanda Flynn Rumney for more details).

This afternoon tea will take place at the fabulous Monet’s Table Restaurant in Tolland in a c. 1750 farmhouse.  $75 fee per person.  Register below by Friday, October 3.
