Looking for something different to bring in the New Year? I hear that Ravenwood will be hosting a celebration that you will want to DIE to be at! Be careful! We would hate for you to fall VICTIM to last minute panic attacks if you don't book early. You may also want to bring your dancing shoes. Not only is Random Acts coming to delight us with yet another mystery to solve, then afterward, we will dance our way into the New Year! Our celebrations include dinner, show, dancing, champagne at mid-night, and after mid-night breakfast. It will be a night to LAUGH - EAT - CELEBRATE. Call for Show/Room packages. One or Two night packages available. Call for info and reservations.

Cost: Reservations Required
