Tea at Tufts’ (Sunday, 1 March 2015)

The 10th Annual Tea at Tufts’ event will be held Sunday, March 1, 2015. The theme is ’10th Anniversary.’ There will be a tour of Tufts’ Mansion at 12:30 p.m. and seating at 1:15. Come and experience an elegant tea complete with good conversation, wonderful company and silent auction items.

Six tables will be decorated and set for tea. This year the tables will be judged by Northern Indoor Comfort Systems (Greg and Deanna Heiman), and they will provide gifts and prizes for these beautiful tables.

Prepaid reservations to attend the tea would make a great gift for someone who deserves to be pampered.

People are needed to decorate and set tables. If interested in decorating a table for this event, contact Lori at the UW-Extension Office (715-743-5121/ lori.hendrickson@co.clark,wi.us)
