You might ask what’s in Spicer Minnesota. Spicer is located just west of the twin cities less than a two hour drive with a population of 1167. And being in the land of over 10,000 lakes you can guess that, yes there are many surrounding lakes nearby. The city is quite small, with only 1.1 square miles sitting on the southwest side of Green lake. So what is in Spicer, a place where people come to get away from the big city? You might go fishing on one of the many lakes nearby or visit Sibley State Park. Or you might fancy yourself to a little murder mystery at the local Bed and Breakfast. Spicer Castle Bed and Breakfast is located on the shores of Green Lake. Green Lake is the largest lake around this area for miles. The town was named after John Spicer who was a banker and investor who helped grow the Northern Pacific Railroad. What Spicer Castle is know for is their Murder Mystery Dinner put on almost every weekend night. The Castle has 8 bedrooms in the main house and 5 other buildings on the grounds. About 4pm tea and Hors d’oeuvres are served in the former screened porch Anything from meatballs to fresh vegetables served with coffee, and hot or cold tea. The murder mystery starts about 8pm and sometimes you are given a little information on what your character will be, a doctor, an architect, to an aristocrat. There are two large dinning rooms where the mystery takes place. Relax, you will not be killed before the first course. The clues and instructions on how to play the game are given out during dinner. And no it is not like the typical mystery where the power goes out and one of the guests is discovered dead when the power is restored. Rather the murder takes place before your dinner and you must figure out which one of your dinner companions is the murderer. There are several different murder mysteries, so if you return you shouldn’t end up with the same mystery. Spicer Castle also is a restaurant serving dinner from 5 to 9 pm Tuesday through Saturday. Breakfast starts at 9am in the same rooms the murder mystery takes place. For this meal the first course was juice followed by muffins, and then a mushroom quiche. The mushroom quiche was served with a purple flower popping the yellow in quiche. The red sauce was a marinara sauce to be poured over the eggs. Check out the different type folded napkins they use.
