A murder mystery, some great auction items and a catered dinner will highlight the May 3 fundraiser for Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties Inc. (ADFAC).

“Murder at the Lake” will take place 5-8 p.m. at Calhoun’s Event Center in Oak Ridge.

Auction items include a signed and framed Dalton Knecht jersey and a baseball signed by University of Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello, both courtesy of Melissa Charles. Sheila Michel is offering a traditional shrimp boil for 12, and Ron and Annie Cacheiro are providing a four-hour boat ride with water sports.
