Calling all princes and princesses to a grand Royal Tea on Sunday, April 16, at the General Morgan Inn from 2-4 p.m. Limited tickets are still available.
The event is open to the public, but tickets are limited. Guests will be treated to tea and lunch, crafts, games, face painting, visits from story book princesses and Prince Charming and other fun activities. Attendees will have the option of selecting a table themed to one of 18 favorite storybooks. The doors will open at 1:30 p.m., and at that time royal attendees may select the table of their choice.
This event is hosted by Greene LEAF, the foundation for Greene County Schools, and is a fundraiser to help fund the Magic Book Bus program and other literacy programs of the Greene County School System.
Following lunch and a Princess Parade led by some special story time guests, attendees can listen to live music, get their face painted and take a photo with Prince Charming.
Community volunteers and educators from the county school system will be participating by decorating tables and helping to support the event. The theme is literacy and each table will be decorated differently with a themed children’s book. Some of the featured books are Peter Rabbit, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Charlotte’s Web, Ladybug Girl, Fancy Nancy, 10 Magic Butterflies and many more.
The Royal Tea will be an opportunity for girls and boys to dress up and have fun while pretending to be royalty. Mothers, fathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles or simply friends may enjoy attending the tea with all of the trimmings. The children attending will be entertained by some very special princesses in a magical fairy tale setting. There will be face painting, music, crafts and more all included in the ticket price.
The Royal Tea is a fundraising event and it is the fifth annual event of this kind hosted by the nonprofit foundation for Greene County Schools. The goal of this event is to raise funds for the Magic Book Bus program and other literacy programs of the Greene County Schools. Every child attending the event will also receive a book to take home.
