Amherst's LaBelle Winery Hosts Murder Mystery Dinner

The Front Door Agency invites you to bring your detective skills, sense of humor, spare change and your appetite to LaBelle Winery in Amherst on Oct. 30, for ”Gangsters in Love,” a Murder Mystery Dinner. The special event is part of the Agency’s “Harvesting Change” campaign which includes its signature Penny Drive. All proceeds from the campaign benefit those in need in our community.

Murder Mystery guests will enjoy an elegant buffet dinner prepared by LaBelle Winery’s culinary staff and a fun evening trying to figure out “whodunit” as Brickroad Productions presents “Gangsters in Love.” There are numerous suspects, a tangled web of clues and lots of chances for audience participation. Dress for the evening is business casual or “your best gangster look.”

The event begins at 6 p.m. with a cash bar, followed by the dinner show at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $65 per person thereafter. Tables of ten are available for $500. Seating is limited, so buy your tickets early by calling (603) 886-2866 or purchase online at frontdooragency.org/events/murder-mystery.

The evening will feature a 50/50 cash raffle, a wine cork pull, and a free raffle ticket if you contribute your spare change to the “Harvesting Change” wheelbarrow. For more than two decades, Penny Picker volunteers for The Front Door Agency have canvassed neighborhoods in Greater Nashua for spare change, collecting up to $40,000 each year to support the organization’s programs. This is the first time the campaign features a special dinner and the opportunity to win cash if you contribute.

The Harvesting Change Campaign is supported by the Front Door’s corporate partners: BAE Systems, and Cityside Management (Gold Partners), Bellwether Community Credit Union, Lowell Five Savings Bank, and Triangle Credit Union (Bronze Partners). Special event Silver Sponsor this year is LaBelle Winery. Sponsorships are still available at many levels. For more information, please contact Jean Perry, Director of Development and Special Events, at 603-816-0293.
