[NFBV-Potomac-Announce] Someone Is Going to Get Bumped Off the Island of Life

[Christine Grassman]

OK, so that’s a euphemistic way of saying: Silenced. Terminated. Killed. Murdered. 
That’s right; I can see the future, and right around 7:00 PM Eastern, (midnight in Britain, where this is going to happen) someone is going to kill. Didn’t know I could see the future, did you?
Well, I can’t, any more than I can see this computer screen in front of me, but it doesn’t matter, because you are going to be needed to solve this murder between 7:00 and 9:00 PM this coming Thursday. And I might be guilty. Ort someone else might. You’ll have to figure it out. See below from Renee Valdez:
Are YOU up for a Murder Mystery?  Feeling Sleuth-y?  

Well…let me tell you!  This is not just your run-of-the-mill, ho-hum, the-butler-did-it-murder mystery!  OH, NO-SIR-EE! THIS, my friends, is a murder mystery to top all murder mysteries!  Wait ‘till you hear the title—

THE GREAT BRITISH BUMP-OFF! 

Hosted by THE GREATER ALEXANDRIA CHAPTER!!  Ha, ha!  We couldn’t have planned that one any better if we tried!

Here is a glimpse into the action –

The scene of the Great British Bump Off is the tent in a field in Welford Park, the existing house a private residence built on the site of a monastery in Newbury and belonging to the same family for 400 years.

“Tension is high inside the big white tent because it’s time for this year’s bakers to face judgment and elimination. But wait! Stop those timers! Our esteemed judge, Shaw G. Bottom, has just been discovered dead in the judge’s tent. The bread round just turned into the dead round.”

OOOOO!  Doesn’t that sound juicy!  Now here is the scoop:
