Real Folks - 150th anniversary

High Tea Celebration

Real Folks has been the women's group at the church for 150 years.  As part of their anniversary celebration, the group enjoyed each other's company at a High Tea in the church dining room and parlor.  Kathy Gow from the Hatfield Historical Society presented a talk and displayed some of the items she curates at the Museum, including the Billings family Bible.  A lot of the members came together to make this happen and we thank them because it looked like a perfectly enjoyable afternoon.

The pictures show the place settings and High Tea offerings, and of course our Real Folks ladies dressed appropriately in their Sunday-best hats.  Even Arnold got into the spirit as he helped out in the kitchen.  The ladies had a blast.  All set to do it again for the 200th anniversary.
