Pirate-Themed Fundraiser for Housatonic Museum of ARRRRRRR-T
|
Pirates, saucy sea maidens and scallywags await at “Murder Amongst The Mateys,” a murder mystery cocktail party to benefit the Housatonic Museum of Art. Guests will enjoy pirates, music, and plenty of rum, as well as a chance to purchase keys to treasure chests filled with plunder. — An announcement from the Housatonic Museum of Art
One guest will end up in Davy Jones’ Locker, leaving the remaining partygoers to solve the mystery and decide who will walk the plank. “Murder Amongst The Mateys” celebrates the legends of Captain Kidd having buried treasure in our area, and is connected to our current exhibit, “Scrolls” by Joe Zucker,” said Robbin Zella, the museum’s executive director. “This will be the museum’s largest fundraiser of the year, with proceeds supporting museum programming and the collection; we encourage everyone to come out and join in the fun.”
The evening includes ice-cold rum inspired cocktails, pirate-themed hor d’oeuvres and a signature drink, Mermaid’s Kiss, created by Uncle Buck’s. Guests will enjoy mingling with other buccaneers and solving the whodunit mystery.
