CLEMSON - On Saturday Oct. 27, Pickens County residents
will have a chance to get dressed up, solve a murder and help a
good cause all at the same time.
The Mystery Theatre Night is a fundraiser to benefit three
Clemson agencies: The Art Center, Clemson Child Development
Center and Clemson Community Care.
"During the benefit, Show Offs, a theater troupe, will present

audience will play a part in solving the crime."

"There will be contests for the funniest, most unique and most
outrageous costumes."
