“The Grand Heist” is a 1920s-inspired whodunit party at COMU, and you’re invited to dress the part.

As you arrive, you’ll become a detective, receive your clue book, and start gathering clues to uncover who pulled off the heist.

Benjamin Badgett will be setting the mood for the evening with his music; and Columbus Country Club will be catering!

Grab your best 1920’s look and come crack the case!
