Introducing: Murder Mystery Nights at the Library, featuring Hunt-A-Killer Mystery Boxes.

Tom Green County is gearing up for Rodeo Season, and the TGC Library has the perfect mystery to get you in the mood.

Picture this: the latest Hawk Springs Rodeo is in town, and the excitement is palpable. But when Patches the Rodeo Clown is found murdered, the fun comes to a screeching halt. With everyone close to Patches a suspect, it's up to you to crack the case and catch the killer.

Team up with a group of like-minded detectives, investigate items found in Patches' trailer, analyze witness statements, and piece together a timeline to solve the mystery. You’ll be tasked with determining means, motive, and opportunity to bring the killer to justice!

So saddle up and get ready for a wild ride. Come on down, and find out who killed the Clown!

Participants must be ages 14+ (under 18 accompanied by a parent or guardian). Spots are limited, registration required.
