Murder in the Smoky Mountains - Murder Mystery Weekend Nov
9 – 11, 2012 Fontana Village Resort 300 Woods Road Fontana Dam,
NC 28733 All inclusive weekend package - lodging, meals, murder. The
mystery begins on Friday evening and develops at lunch on Saturday,
but you’ll still have some free time to take advantage of Fontana Village
Resort’s amenities before dinner. Dreadful events occur, and you may
stumble over a “dead” body or two. In the best tradition of television
and the movies, the chances are good that a kindly, perhaps somewhat
disheveled, local detective with a possibly warped sense of humor, will
become involved to clarify the situation, guiding and cajoling you into
thinking about the means, methods and motives of murder all while
meeting new friends and having a lot of fun! fontanavillage.com
