There’s been a murder in the village, and it’s up
to WDMGC super-sleuths to help solve the mystery by investigating
the who, the why and the where…
For those who have not attended before,
here’s how it works...
 When
you arrive you receive a leaflet that describes the murder scene and
lists all the town folk and their relationship to
the deceased - any one of them may have a motive for the murder! As
part of your investigation you will travel through the village
interviewing the characters (barber, doctor, minister, town gossip,
mayor, town drunk, etc.) in their homes, places of work or even in
the street. Of course, there are always rumors that spread, as well
as the usual red herrings, so as in all good murder mysteries:
things aren’t always what they seem…! Once you’ve finished
your investigation and determined who the likely culprit is, you
hand in your ballot. At around 9:30 the town authorities will reveal
“who done it”, how and why. There is a random draw from the
correct ballots, so you also have a chance to win a prize.
Come join us for a fun evening, and a
good late season opportunity to drive you LBC. You will get a chance
to see a few fall colours, test your CSI skills, and test your Lucas
electrical system on the way home. Oooh, now that’s scary! A
flashlight, notepad and a pen or pencil will be useful so be sure to
bring those along. Since this is primarily an outdoor event, please
check the forecast and dress appropriately. The event runs rain or
(moon) shine, so we will go no matter what. Just bring the regular
car if you don’t like to drive your British car in the rain.
Admission
is $5:00 per person and refreshments and snacks are available on
site.
If you are not too tired after all that
heady investigative work, we can make arrangements to stop off
somewhere in Windsor.
Meet-up details
We will meet at about 3:30 pm
at Jose’s Noodle Factory located at 2731 Howard Ave. in Windsor. We
will have dinner and refreshments until 5:30 pm, then caravan to
Heritage Village, which is part of the Canadian Transportation
Museum. It’s about 30 minutes from Windsor, and is the same venue
where Fun on Wheels is held. The 18th century village is
made up of historic buildings moved there from throughout Essex
County
Getting there
If coming from the US, the Tunnel would
be the best option. Out of the Tunnel exit, turn left on Park St.
Turn left at the first corner, which is Ouellette Ave. Continue
south on Ouellette Ave, until you cross over an overpass. Turn left
at the intersection just past the overpass, this is Eugenie St. At
the second traffic light, Howard Ave., turn right. Jose’s is several
blocks down on the right. If you are coming from the Bridge, follow
Huron Church Rd. and get on EC Row Expressway East. Exit at Dougall
Rd. turning left on to Dougall. Turn right at the first street, just
past Tepperman’s Furniture. This road, Edinborough, curves to the
left and takes you right to Jose’s.
If you can’t join us earlier, you can
meet us at Jose’s for 5:30 pm
to join us for the caravan.
And if you can’t make it to Jose’s
you can meet us at Heritage Village where we should be arriving at
about 6:45 pm. If we get away by 5:30 we will have over an hour
before sunset allowing us to see some late afternoon fall colours
via a somewhat circuitous route to the village.
The Ambassador Bridge is easily
accessible from Heritage Village making for an easy drive home for
US members.
