• The Kennett Square Murder Mystery Art Stroll will take place Friday, Aug. 1, starting at 6:30 p.m. The murder “discovery” is at 6:45 p.m. This year the theme is Art in the Garden and it has drawn a variety of colorful characters from the local and regional garden clubs. But underneath the veneer of friendly competition there lurks a darker side to the event. Reginald Foxglove, the head judge and a member of the organizing committee, met a sinister fate and has been found collapsed on the Genesis Walkway, the victim of a fatal blow to the head. Who dunnit? Meet the detective at the scene of the crime, the Genesis Walkway (101 E. State Street) to gather clues, question murder suspects in participating downtown locations, and attempt to identify the murderer and solve the crime. Participants will investigate the murder by determining holes in suspect stories by using the questions, answers, and clues provided by the detective, murder suspects, and suspicious characters.
