Carroll County Humane Society Hosts Mystery Dinner Theater
From the Dec 10, 2024 e-Edition
McKENZIE (December 7) — The Carroll County Humane Society hosted a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre Saturday at The Venue at Waddell Place.
The event, which served the role of the organization’s annual gala, featured a delicious meal catered by Bealla-Q of Huntingdon.
Guests were invited to dress to the theme, a dinner party at a mansion in Salem in the 1970s. Some guests, along with some CCHS members, were given roles in the murder mystery. Early in the evening, the festivities were interrupted by the “murder” of the party’s host, Charles Stacee. A series of clues were presented over the course of the evening, and ultimately, the killers were identified. Guests had fun watching the drama unfold and playing detective.
The cast included: Crystal King (Hostess/Detective Bill McTell), Dr. Elizabeth Cunningham (Sergine Annabelle), Brad Sam (Roderick Cooper), Beverly Wilson (Maximiliane Emmy), Jayden Sarnik (Vinny Brandy), Tyler Perritt (Creighton Denver), Tommy Martin (Sherwood Bill), Audra Reardon (Ashlea Tigerlily), Jeremy King (Mayor Morris Kameron), Catherine Clark Perritt (Izzy Krystal), Marilyn Wade (Nia Kalla), Joshua King (Shelton Rolph), Theresa Hilliard (Kimmie Stacee) and Randall Wilson (Orlando Putnam).
During dinner and dessert, an ensemble from the McKenzie High School band provided entertainment with Christmas songs.
A silent auction was held during the event. Bidding on the dozens of donated items continues for another week on the Carroll County Humane Society Facebook page.
The Carroll County Humane Society is a no-kill animal shelter in McKenzie, Tennessee. (They do not euthanize to make space nor do they limit the amount of time an animal can stay at the shelter.) CCHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, with funding coming entirely from private contributions, bequeaths, fundraising and grants. They care for approximately 100 animals at one time in the shelter building and in foster homes. The goal is to utilize adoption and spay/neuter as the community’s animal population control - not euthanasia. CCHS hopes to ensure that all companion animals have a warm, safe, loving home and to assist and educate the public about proper pet care. CCHS also gives shelter to abused animals while assisting law enforcement to prosecute their abusers.
