Post date January 30, 2019

February Fun

February means romance, fun activities and numerous events! Here are just some of the things to enjoy in Lexington and Central Kentucky this month.

Death By Chocolate
Murder Mystery Dinner & Show

February 16 @ 6:00 pm

903 Manchester Street Suite 110

Lexington, KY 40508
Tickets: $54.99

Enjoy and 3 course meal at The Speakeasy by Bluegrass Catering and a show by Bluegrass Mystery Theatre for Valetine’s.
There are not many things that go together like chocolate and peanut butter, except maybe for Valentine’s Day and chocolate. When Sally Sugar, Harry Heartthrob, Linda Love, and Dominick Decocco receive special invites from Lady Godiva to the Chocolate Craver’s Convention, they cannot refuse to attend. They will be part of a special event where they can taste new chocolate concoctions to help the confectionaries determine what exclusive candies they can create. Our guests soon find out there is a seedy underside to the world of chocolate that invariably leads to murder. Come see Bluegrass Mystery Theatre’s production of Death by Chocolate by Jeffrey Roberts and see if you can figure out if chocolate is truly worth dying for.
