Fundraiser
Picture it: Livingston, 1959. The martinis are cold, the gossip is hot, and secrets run deeper than the Yellowstone River. At least, that’s the scene on Saturday, October 11th, when Elevate Montessori hosts its second annual Murder Mystery Dinner at The 1900 in downtown Livingston. Guests will be whisked back to a glamorous 1950s supper club for an evening of suspense, laughter, live jazz, and fine dining—all while raising critical funds for children and teachers in Park County.
A 1950s Whodunnit
This year’s event, CLUE: A 1950s-themed Whodunnit, invites guests to rub elbows with shady suspects and dazzling dames while piecing together a scandalous mystery. Characters like Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, and Mrs. Peacock will mingle with the crowd, dropping secrets, stirring suspicions, and perhaps throwing a red herring or two into the mix.
At some point in the night, the fun takes a deadly turn. But don’t worry—no real harm done, just plenty of intrigue. As the mystery unfolds, guests will gather clues and, by the end of dessert, cast their votes on who they think committed the dastardly deeds.
It’s theater, dinner, and a game of Clue come to life—right in the heart of downtown Livingston.

Why You’ll Want a Seat at the Table
Guests can expect an unforgettable evening filled with live music, laughter, drama, and suspense. You’ll sip, savor, and sleuth alongside friends and neighbors in a setting that feels straight out of a noir film. One minute you’ll be clinking glasses, the next you’ll be whispering theories across the table about who could be behind it all.
Behind the suspenseful storyline lies a very real purpose. Proceeds from the Murder Mystery Dinner directly support Elevate Montessori School, a nonprofit providing high-quality early childhood education for children ages 2 months to 6 years.
“Events like this allow us to bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of childcare,” says Jess Haas, Executive Director of Elevate. “Every ticket sold helps ensure Park County families have access to quality childcare, and it ensures our teachers, who give so much every day, receive a livable wage.”
Tickets are already selling fast, and childcare spots are especially limited. Don’t wait to secure your seat for one of Livingston’s most unique and glamorous fundraising nights.
As Detective Slate, the sharp-tongued narrator of the evening, might say, “Justice will be served, folks. And not just with dessert.”
Join the case of the year. Buy your tickets today, and get ready for a killer night of impact.
