SPECIAL ACTIVITIES & EVENTS

Bloodwood

Bloodworth falls is an isolated town plagued with scandals. The townsfolk bicker in the streets, and many believe the local government is corrupt.

Nevertheless, the mayor is hosting a masquerade ball in the old Bloodwood Castle. The tickets to the event have sold out in record time. The townspeople are curious to find out why the mayor would put in effort into doing something positive in this gloom.

Anticipation for the event hangs thickly in the air, and many are already hunting for the perfect mask. You are worried what will happen on this night when toxic people come together. You are alarmed, as you didn’t purchase your ticket - it was placed in your mailbox in an unmarked envelope. Somebody wants you there, but you don’t know why. This is where your story begins.

Established in 1868, the Comal Cemetery is the burial ground for some of New Braunfels’ founders and notable citizens.

Hear the stories of these illustrious souls told by actors as living history portrayals.

October 14 & 15 Golf Cart Tours Friday at 6pm Saturday at 5:30 & 6pm Proceeds from this event support Comal Cemetery preservation
