'Haunted House Hunt' Newest Comedy Mystery Dinner

DENVER- Autumn brings many things to Highland's notorious murder mystery dinner mansion; cooler weather, changing fall colors, and ghost stories!  "This time of year we get a constant stream of folks wanting to hear the real ghost stories about the B&B." reports Innkeeper/owner/actor Walt Keller.  "So after working on the concept for years, we've wrapped those real ghost stories together into a Halloween hunt through never-before-seen areas of the mansion.  You've never been to a night of entertainment like Haunted House Hunt before."

Comedy mystery dinner theater has been a mainstay at the Lumber Baron for years.  As with other shows, guests arrive at 6pm where 50-100 people could be cocktailing in the first floor parlors while outrageous actors are sprinkled amongst the party-goers.  For the Haunted House Hunt, an auction of antiquities will kick off the evening, hosted by Nancy Ann Cianci, a character supposedly listing the mansion for sale because of it's haunted reputation.  The plot thickens as the groups ascends to the mansion's third floor ballroom where guests are told a litany of real ghost stories and an unsolved mystery is revealed.  Bike Squad Officer Rusty Schwinn ultimately arrives to solve the crime with the guests and the clues they've discovered for themselves.

Dinner is served by the Food Guy Catering company, who specializes in made-from-scratch, chef-prepared, seasonally-changed menus.  For Haunted House Hunt a two-entree buffet will be offered featuring: locally-grown Colorado mixed greens, all-natural Redbird Farms grilled chicken breast with an 

Olathe sweet corn sauce and marinated and grilled sliced bistro steaks.  Dinner is included in the package price of $37 per person which also includes the entertainment, tax, and gratuity.  Cash bar is available.

Opening weekend for the show is Friday and Saturday night, September 11 & 12, 2009.  Shows are every weekend culminating in a notable closing night: Friday the 13th of November.  Admission is by advance reservation only by calling 303-477-8205.
