Tea & Hat Show February 14, 2009

Smith Plantation will host the Seventh Annual Tea and Hat Fashion Shows in conjunction with Roswell Roots: A Festival of Black History and Culture on Saturday, February 14th. Two seatings are planned at 12:00pm and 2:30pm.

The sessions will include an informal tea and a fashion show as our guest speaker shares her knowledge of hat design and the relationship between women and their hats. Women are encouraged to wear their hats while enjoying tea and light refreshments. Our presenter this year is Vernell Washington returning as a presenter for her fifth Tea & Hat Show. The jet-setting Vernell will bring the fashions of Nigerian designer Grace Mark’s Chapeaux as part of her presentation. Vernell will also discuss the history of hats as well as the art of headwrapping.

Space for teas is limited. Reservations are required and may be made by calling the Smith Plantation office at 770-641-3978. Admission is $15.00 for ages 8 and above.
