Put on your detective’s hat and get ready for Derby Day with the Deadly Derby Mystery Dinner at the Harrodsburg Historical Society (220 South Chiles Street). Every guest is a suspect and a detective at the event, which runs two nights, Friday, April 29, and Saturday, April 30, starting at 6 p.m.
You don’t have to limit yourself to Sherlock Holmes’ deerstalker. You are invited to dress up for the Best Derby Hat Competition. And even if you don’t solve the whodunnit, you get to enjoy a special treat. The dinner recipes have been taken from the collection of “the Best Cook in Harrodsburg,” Miss Thelma Linton.
The cost is $30 per person, $25 for historical society members.
Also, the final week of Ragged Edge Community Theatre’s production of “Tuesdays with Morrie,” runs from Friday, April 29, through Sunday, May 1. Show time for the play, which stars Allan Barlow and Devin Casey and was directed by James Tyler Mattingly, is 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. for Sunday matinees. Reservations can be made by visiting raggededgetheatre.org or by calling 859-734 2389. All tickets are $12.
