🕯️ SOME STORIES ARE BETTER LEFT UNTOLD…

But this October, one of them is waiting for you.

Deep in the shadows of Blackthorn Hollow, an old secret refuses to stay buried. A mysterious death. A disputed inheritance. A lantern that may hold the key to it all…

And one unforgettable evening where nothing is quite as it seems. 🍂🔑

✨ A cozy, candlelit atmosphere.
🍽️ A farm-to-table feast.
🐑 A few unexpected farm friends.
🕵️ A mystery waiting to be unraveled.

THE LAST LANTERN AT BLACKTHORN HOLLOW
An intimate, adults-only murder mystery fundraiser benefiting Bee Wings & Fuzzy Things and helping us build safer pasture fencing for our animal residents. 🖤

🎟️ Limited tickets. One evening. Plenty of secrets.

Don’t wait until the lantern goes dark to wish you’d been there…

Will you uncover the truth — or become part of the legend?

🕯️ October 17 | 21+ only

Some nights are made for staying home. This isn’t one of them. 🖤🍂
