Blood in the Snow Western Murder Mystery is a Murder Mystery and Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser for the Fernie and District Historical Society’s 60th Anniversary!

In honour of our 60th (and a bit) Anniversary, the Fernie and District Historical Society and Fernie Museum present Blood in the Snow: A Western Murder Mystery and Spaghetti Dinner, this February 22nd at the Elks Hall.

It’s been two years since the Fernie Museum hosted its last dangerously exciting mystery, The Curse of Osiris, which spirited guests to an exhibit opening in the Roaring Twenties. Now, they venture back another twenty years, to the very beginnings of the rough coalmining town that would become Fernie, BC.

It’s 1898, and the collection of shacks on the banks of Coal Creek heaves with railwaymen, coal miners, con- artists, ladies of ill-repute, tinhorn gamblers, whiskey sellers and carpetbaggers. A February blizzard smothers the valley, stranding a collection of ne’er- do-wells in Big Tony’s Saloon and Italian Ristorante.
But what’s this? Gunshots in the night? Strangers on the road? A lawman found dead in the outhouse behind the saloon? Everyone’s a suspect, and only you can help find the killer!

Join the Fernie Museum at the Elks Hall to test your wits and appetite this February!

Tickets are 90 dollars, 80 for current FDHS members and on sale here and at the Fernie Museum front desk.
