Murder at the grand gatsby speakeasy
Step back into the roaring 1920s this Valentine’s Day for an unforgettable Murder Mystery Night at the Casey Tibbs Rodeo Center. It’s Prohibition-era Chicago, where rival mob bosses Hal Sapone and Beanie O’Dannon are attempting a fragile truce inside the Grand Gatsby Speakeasy. Tensions are high, loyalties are questionable, and with gangsters from both sides gathering under one roof, anything could happen. Will peace prevail—or will the night erupt into chaos? Dress the part, sharpen your detective skills, and prepare for an evening of suspense, drama, and vintage glamour on Valentine’s evening in historic Fort Pierre.
