Saturday was one for the books, and the case is officially closed 🕵️
Thank you to every guest who stepped into the Smedley for One Deadly Deal. You showed up in your best noir, questioned our suspects like pros, and made it a killer night. We hope it was a night to remember!
Now for the shout-outs, because a night like this takes a village of very talented accomplices:
Our team. You always go along with our crazy ideas, and numerous guests told us how amazing you are. I couldn’t agree more! Every single one of you stepped up and stepped out. The girls are always down for anything, and Dave brought a calmness that kept things steady despite the stress we were all feeling!
Amanda and her husband, thank you for the event rentals and for helping the night run smoothly despite all the unforeseen twists. (Plot twists were supposed to stay in the script.) The Barn on McIntosh Rd
Kyle Hoppmann, the absolute best bartender and a true gem of a human.
Bleu Oaks , thank you for serving up such a delicious meal. After all, a murder mystery is only as good as the dinner!
Paducah Coffee Company , thank you for the most delicious coffee, which kept the party going long after the case was closed. Plus extra shouts out to Social media-less Connor, the best MC we could ask for. (You won’t see this post, but you were incredible.)
Skyler Hunter , thank you for playing the victim and lying on the back deck for an absurd amount of time. That’s commitment to the bit.
The Does Crew, Carrie, Paul, and Ashley, thank you for everything you did to help and for coming to the rescue. Your all’s friendship and business advice will always go appreciated. Doe's Eat Place Paducah
Courtney and Corey, thank you for always being willing to help with whatever event-related thing we throw at you. It helps to have friends who’ve done an event a time or 500.
And most of all, thank you to our attendees and some of our very best friends that were in the crowd. You all made it so fun and were truly the best part of the case!
Until the next mystery. 🖤
