Bus Trips for 2008

First United Methodist Church sponsors several bus trips each year primarily for those 50 years and older although persons of any age are welcome. You do not have to attend FUMC to participate. Plans have been made for the following three trips in 2008. Please put these dates on your calendar and invite friends to join us.

Bissell Mansion Mystery Theatre
Wednesday, April 23, 2008

The Bissell Mansion hosts St Louis' original participatory comedy/mystery dinner theatre. We will be served a three-course Luncheon between acts of the Show. Since the audience participates in the show, everyone receives an identity when they arrive, you could be a murderer, a victim, a suspect, fulfill another role or just sit back and enjoy the show.

8:00 a.m. Depart FUMC Peoria at 116 NE Perry. We will stop for a break along the way.
12:00 noon Arrive at Bissell Mansion.
3:00 p.m. Approximate departure time. We will make a fast food stop along the way home.
7:00 p.m. Approximate arrival time home.
Cost per person: $79.00* Committment or payment due March 19
