Step into the shadows with Hudson Community Education as we head across the river to Minnesota for an afternoon shrouded in mystery and steeped in delicious tradition. You're invited to unravel secrets, dodge supernatural surprises, and uncover a killer hiding in plain sight then retreat to a legendary supper club where the past lingers in every cozy corner. With luxury motorcoach travel and a spirited host guiding your way, this is more than just an outing. It's an experience where goosebumps meet great food.
The Mystery: Enter the eerie world of Murder Inn at the historic Plymouth Playhouse. This isn’t your average night at the theater but rather a chilling murder mystery with supernatural twists. The Barnsley Inn sets the stage for secrets, suspense, and a knife-throwing poltergeist named Marco. As the story unfolds, you’ll be left guessing who’s behind the mayhem and who’s next!
The Menu: After the final act, we head to Mancini’s Char House in St. Paul—an iconic, family-run steakhouse serving tradition for over 70 years. Expect a warm, classic supper club atmosphere and an unforgettable meal to include your choice of: premium char-grilled steak, chicken breast, broiled walleye, vegetarian Tuscan Medley, classic relish tray, fresh salad, baked potato, garlic toast, and a slice of cake for dessert. Soda and alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
