Dead in Deadwood

The Story: Jimmy Haywood rules this downtrodden, almost forgotten town. It once thrived and prospered when folks though gold was in Fort Totten. Now, Deadwood is just an occasional stagecoach stopover, and the Castle is not only a haven for outlaws, it also houses the best dance hall and saloon.

Join us for an evening of intrique, guessing, and delectable food at BHS. Wear your fancy cowboy outfit, boots, and hat if you like.

Get ready to have fund, participate, and find out "Who Did It'?
