The Reeves Museum will present "Fatally Floundering Fundraiser," a murder mystery dinner that combines suspense, comedy and philanthropy against the backdrop of high society’s passion for marine life and the businesses that keep a waterfront thriving.

The event, set in the present day, invites guests to mingle with an elite crowd of philanthropists, business leaders and marina enthusiasts, only to discover that beneath the glamour lies betrayal, scandal and murder. Attendees will take part in unraveling the mystery while enjoying dinner catered by Kathy’s Catering.

The dinner will take place Nov. 7 and 8 at 6 p.m. in the Reeves Carriage House, 325 E. Iron Ave., Dover. Tickets are $50 per person or $45 for Reeves Museum members.

All proceeds from "Fatally Floundering Fundraiser" will benefit the Reeves Museum and Dover Historical Society.
