The Stranger Than Fiction: Gets A Clue Gala brought all the intrigue of film noir and mystery fiction, with attendees donning their best sleuth attire.
The evening began with passed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres provided by Ces and Judy's catering. The musical entertainment began with Abigail Stahlschmidt, an electric violinist, and concluded with Sarah Jane and The Blue Notes, a jazz band. Throughout the evening, attendees could find literary inspired activities such as a clue-inspired mystery game featuring actors from Brickworks Theatre Company. Attendees could also look for red herrings, or sip on one, as the signature cocktail was named after the famous term and created by Tim Wiggins, owner of Extra Wavy, Yellowbelly and Lazy Tiger. More than 430 guests attended and raised $252,000 for St. Louis Public Library.
