Hilliard House and the Ladies of Ashland Present the 3rd Annual Afternoon Tea on Sunday, May 2, 2010.  

From the same “ladies” who bring you the hugely successful Deck The Halls event in December, we bring you  “An authentic English  Tea, featuring “Fashions of the 50’s/Famous TV  Shows.”  Our “alternative” fashion show has been a critically acclaimed  success, a “showstopper; not-to-be-missed”. This is a gorgeous, spectacular event, held in the historic Hanover Arts & Activities Center on the tracks in Ashland. Our exceptional volunteers transform the building into a high-end “English’ tea room filled with flowers, linens, china and silver to reflect teas-of-years-past. We set each table with different place settings from our treasured personal collections.

Each year we “theme” the fashion show, building on the 2008 theme of Ashland’s 150th celebration when we showcased fashions from 1858 – 2008. Last year, based on the “Dancing Queens” number in the 2009 Ashland Variety Show, we laughed uproariously with fashions of The 70’s. This year we will feature Fashions of the 50’s/ TV Moms; even our committee “waitstaff” will be in the spirit with “vintage” aprons and appropriate “pearls”.
