September Birthday?

It is not always easy to come up with a new and different way to celebrate your birthday. If you are looking for ideas. I've got one for you. Attend a murder mystery party at Baldwin's Station Restaurant in Sykesville.

The restaurant is in what once was a train station sitting along the Patapsco River. Yes, trains will very likely pass by once, maybe twice in the evening. This, in and of itself, is a unique place.

But there's more.

The restaurant will become the site of a crime scene (oh my) and you will be asked to search for clues and interrogate suspects to solve whodunnit.

The storyline is set in the present day in Sykesville, Maryland - a location which was recently awarded the titled "Coolest Small Town" in America.

While guests are solving whodunnit they are enjoying a lovely three course dinner. Guests will choose from three different entrees (Jailbird Chicken, Behind Bars Beef and the Unforgivable Fish).

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the theme is based on the Australian wine "19 Crimes." In the mid-1700s if you were caught in the act of committing one of the 19 Crimes, you were sent to the penal colony in Australia. Today the town of Sykesville has updated and reinstated the 19 Crimes. Tonight's event is a farewell dinner for those accused who are being banished from Sykesville.

There is no dress code. Come as you are. The cost is $75/person and includes taxes and gratuity. There will be glasses of 19 Crimes wine and 19 Crimes cocktails at the cash bar available for purchase at happy hour prices.

There are three dates from which to choose

• Friday, September 27, 2019

• Friday, November 22, 2019
