Park officials are announcing the first Murder Mystery Dinner Theater will be presented at the park on Thursday, October 27th in the Reelfoot Room inside Discover Center. The very interactive play is called, "Honeymoon from Hades," and is a classic, "who done it?" type experience.

The meal is being catered by Hub's Restaurant out of Hickman, KY and will feature the classic Hub's pork chop with their unique and delicious special sauce, complimented with a baked potato with butter, fresh garden salad and warm dinner roll.
