SUMMARY:Mystery at the Mansion - Murder at the Juice Joint
DESCRIPTION:Help solve a murder mystery at Arbor Lodge Mansion on Friday night\, April 17. \nSet in 1920s Chicago\, the Juice Joint is a swanky speakeasy run by recent widow Rosie Marie.

The cigarette girl with a temper that sizzles to the crooked police chief with nothing to lose. No one is safe from murder. Or could it be the blacklisted bootlegger desperate to increase their sales? Or possibly the director with a shot at making history? Now is your chance to solve the crime. \nParticipants must be age 19 or older. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE

Join NGPC staff as we work on activities such as invasive species removal\, seed collection\, trail maintenance\, brush piling\, and tree planting.\nRegister in advance if plan to attend so we can estimate head count for work materials: https://arcg.is/H1L5S2\nWear sturdy\, closed-toed shoes and long pants\, bring water\, and outdoor work/garden gloves. Long sleeves are also recommended. All ages are welcome for this opportunity\, but anyone under the age of 18 must have an accompanying adult.\nMeet at the park shelter next to Pond A.
