You're invited!

Diamond Heist Mystery Dinner

Saturday, October 12

5:30 to 9:00 p.m.

Radisson Hotel Ballroom | 200 Second St. S., La Crosse

It's our Diamond Anniversary... and there's been a heist!

Please join Great Rivers United Way for "Now You See It; Now You Don't," a night of good food, good fun, and a little detective work, all for a GREAT cause! We're celebrating 75 years of making a difference right here in the Coulee Region. You won't want to miss this intriguing event put on by Great Rivers United Way and the party planning pros at The Murder Mystery Co. – as seen on ABC's Shark Tank!

As an audience member, you can be as involved in the action as you'd like or are comfortable with: volunteer to play a part alongside the professional actors; or if the spotlight's not your thing, sit back, take in all of the clues, and crack the case with those around you.

Setting the Scene

Join us as we transform the Radisson Hotel Ballroom into a museum for the night...

The crowd was hushed as the museum proprietor got ready to unveil the prized display of the evening, the Stomach of the Ocean Diamond, only to find it had been stolen while the crowd mingled in ignorant bliss. Now it's up to you, our other guests, and the detective to find the thief and restore the diamond to its rightful place to get the unveiling back on track! Who is the carat caper, and who will solve the crime to make this night of mystery the night of beauty it was intended to be?

What should I wear?

Come as you are in jeans and a t-shirt; dress like you would for a night on the town; OR, let loose and have a little fun with our theme...

• Dress in your fanciest evening gowns and suits. This is a museum unveiling, after all.
• Or, come in character: cops and robbers are welcome. Will you be good or bad?
• As they say, the devil is in the details – don't forget accessories!
