Dirty Dan Mystery Weekend

Welcome to our first annual Dirty Dan Mystery Weekend presented by Fairhaven Association!

The weekend will begin when you open the Fairhaven newspaper and read: “A runner was found dead on Friday, April 23rd at 9 am. on the bench next to the statue of Dan Harris” And thus begins the quest to find the murderer and their method!! 

Read the newspaper from front to back. You’ll also be given a map with locations where you can pick up printed clues to help you solve the mystery. All of the clue locations and the scene of the crime are within a half-mile of Fairhaven Village Green.

The suspect photos will be on display at Dirty Dan Mystery Headquarters. As you walk around the village collecting your clues, you will encounter some of the suspects (i.e. characters) described in the newspaper. You never know who might have valuable information which will help you solve the mystery. But can you trust them all?  Hmmmm, the real “criminal” is out there and they have every reason to lead you in the wrong direction!

When you think you have figured out who and how to enter your solution on the official ballot. Bring your completed form to the Dirty Dan Mystery Headquarters. Correct ballot solutions will be placed in a drawing for Grand Prizes ranging from Weekend Getaways and Merchant Gift Certificates to Dirty Dan Mystery Memorabilia.

All the other ‘incorrect ballots’ will be placed in a drawing for other prizes.

Registration is $12 per person and opens online on March 15, 2021. Tickets can be purchased in-person starting Saturday, April 24 at 10 a.m. at Dirty Dan Mystery Headquarters.
