New Event Idea for 2012

I have a great idea in my head for yet another special Event at the Studio. It's been there for awhile and I had good intentions of making it come to life in June, but somehow my life got in the way and the special Event was put to second place. Now  I'm ready to push forward, so the first step is ordered, props are coming together, next on my list, scour thrift stores and yard sales I'm on the hunt for a VERY specific item (in several sizes) lol! Facebook message me and I can tell you what I'm looking for, maybe you can even help a girl out. This Event is going to be up there with "Whispers In The Forest" and "Back Stage Pass" I'm pretty excited.

There will be several raffles as well as randomly drawn door prizes for those who attend trivia.
Those who attend can bring their own snacks, but drinks must be purchased at the bar.
Teams will consist of 6-8 members.
