A murder under a host of conspiracy theories occurred at the annual Association des francophones et francophiles (AFFNO) Murder Mystery Dinner in Kitimat on April 9.
More than 65 attendees and cast from Prince Rupert, Terrace and the host city participated throughout the evening in “The Conspiracy of Murder” deciphering ‘who dun it.”
The premises of the mystery built on the death of a successful journalist. Comedy was interwoven with renowned world conspiracy theories such as the Illuminati, flat earthers, fake moon landing, fake news, and birds are not real but are actually flying spies.
The annual fundraising event for the francophone non-profit took place at Hirsch Creek Golf and Curling Club with a sold-out ticketed function.
A dessert auction with goods provided by Hale Kitimat landed a top bid of $75 for a box of baked treats by the Bon Cop Bad Cop table. Cooks Jewellers supplied the auction pièce de résistance, which resulted in a bidding battle for a pair of earrings, netting the non-profit organization $200 in gains.
Many dressed in optional costumes for dinner with tin-foil hats adorning the heads of many in attendance. However, it was the teenage sleuth costume of Nancy Drew, worn by Nadine Perschel-Graha, which generated the loudest cheers and applause to attract the best costume prize.
The next AFFNO Murder Mystery Dinner will be held in Prince Rupert in October, with the date yet to be released.
