What is a Tea Dance?
A tea dance is a ballroom dance that features Gene Trimble's Combo playing Big Band music of the 40s & 50s.
The event begins at 6 p.m. and costs $10 per person. The dance includes free popcorn served from 6 to
6:45 p.m., followed by a buffet of 16 feet of refreshments. The refreshments (included in the admission
price) always consist of variations of two kinds of sandwiches, chips, relish trays, cheeses, summer sausage,
fruit, and a huge assortment of homemade desserts. No tea is served! Appropriate attire is
semi-formal/formal wear. Reservations are not required unless large parties want to reserve tables so
members of a group can all sit together. Call 253-2535 (museum) or 253-4620 evenings (Lynnita's home)
for further details or questions. |
