BENTON TOWNSHIP — Students of Lake Michigan College’s Hospitality and Culinary programs will host Mayhem in the Mitten, a murder mystery dinner experience and silent auction on April 22, at the Mendel Center.

Attendees will enjoy a five-course, Michigan-themed, locally sourced dinner by culinary and hospitality students, plus interactive mystery dinner theatre by the TORP Comedy Troupe. Items for auction include hotel packages, restaurant gift certificates and personalized chef dinners.

The event is planned by students enrolled in LMC’s Hospitality and Culinary Management programs and proceeds will support the Hospitality and Culinary Management Student Club.

“This event is a huge hit every year. Guests get a really unique experience, and our talented students show off what they’ve learned about the art of creating exquisite culinary delights and providing impeccable service,” said instructor Chris Woodruff.

Doors for the silent auction and bar open at 5:30 p.m. Appetizers and First Clue begin at 6 p.m.
