Murder Mystery Day is TOMORROW!

That’s right, it’s finally here! Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 3 p.m. is the kickoff for Teen Summer Reading 2009: a Rock and Roll Murder Mystery. It’s kinda like the game Clue, only live. There will be crime scenes, evidence, statements from suspects and everything. Watch CSI and Law and Order to brush up on your detective skills, because you’ll have to figure out who the murderer is, how they did it, and why. As always, there will be snacks for everybody and prizes for the winning detectives, so BE THERE!

What: Rock and Roll Murder Mystery
When: 3 p.m. Wednesday June 10
Where: Twin Falls Public Library
Why: To hang out, have fun and to solve a mystery
