29th Annual Mystery Night Unfolds Tonight With 'Clue' Theme
Ferdinand, ID · November 7, 2026
Step outside this morning and you'll catch that quiet early-November chill settling over the stubble fields, just in time for a busy Saturday. Between morning gear swaps and tonight's big whodunit gathering, there is plenty of reason to bundle up and head out.
The Lead
Tonight, the Angelus Center fills with suspense, laughter, and familiar faces as the 29th annual Mystery Night gets underway. The beloved autumn tradition—now in its second year at the 26,000-square-foot campus on Substation Road after decades spent packing Greencreek Hall—brings neighbors from across the prairie together for an elaborate evening supporting St. John Bosco Academy.
This year’s production leans into board game nostalgia with a full-fledged "Clue" whodunit, pairing dinner and live skits with silent auctions and a much-anticipated $10,000 grand prize drawing. While the competition to identify the culprit in the conservatory gets lively, the real draw is the chance to visit over supper before winter truly sets in. Doors open at dusk, giving ticket holders just enough time to iron their suspenders and track down a magnifying glass.
Today's Outlook
- High 62°F · Low 41°F — Overcast
- Keep a jacket within arm's reach under the gray, mild afternoon skies.
