Get Looney at this Jazz Party and Scavenger Hunt!
Have you been waiting for the perfect event to pull out that flapper dress or striped suit? The time has arrived!
Make plans to attend a Let’s Get Looney Jazz Party and Scavenger Hunt, hosted by Skellington Manor (420 18th Street Rock Island) this Saturday Aug 18!
Back in the day, John Looney, the original Quad-Cities vice lord, ran a number of criminal enterprises in the area, many within walking distance from The Manor. Spend the evening learning about that rich history of 1920s Rock Island from characters ripped right out of the pages of history. Live actors will take you back in time to tell their story of how it all looked and felt to be living in that time, while also giving you the opportunity to visit local businesses and see all of what they have to offer.
From 6-8 p.m. there will be a FREE scavenger hunt. Pick up your scavenger hunt entry at Skellington Manor any time after 6 p.m. and return it any time prior to 8 p.m. for a chance to win a $500 prize bundle from local businesses! Winners need not be present to win.
Beginning at 8 p.m. the Let’s Get Looney Swing Jazz Party with The Josh Duffee Orchestra will be providing fun for all! Tickets are only $25 and can be purchased online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lets-get-looney-1920s-themed-jazz-dance-party-scavenger-hunt-tickets-47038347965. Music, dancing, appetizers and prohibition-themed drinks will be available (for those over 21 and with a valid ID).
Don’t miss this nostalgic evening!
