This Halloween, the Padre Hotel played host to a party that invited guests to transport themselves back to the 1920’s. Filled with gangsters, flappers, and a wide variety of other characters, the night was a joyous adventure into the past.
The hotel, all ready an iconic part of Bakersfield history, was thrown back into the golden age of the town, the hotel having been built in the ‘20s.
Big Jim Ravioli shot and killed
The party was hosted by the Fairy Godmother Foundation, a volunteer fundraising group. Their goal is raising money to help engaged couples who have had to postpone their ceremony due to devastating medical risks.
The night was all fun and game . . . until somebody was murdered.
Big Jim Ravioli, the notorious mob boss, was shot in the middle of the room, as the power was shut off, causing the guests to have to ask themselves “Who did it?” And it’s up to them to find out who the culprit was before the night was over.
