The Amity Club and the Bowie Alliance for Education and the Arts invite you to the 12th Annual Mad Hatter Tea and Style Show at 2 p.m. on Aug. 6 in the Bowie First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 1515 Jefferson.
While enjoying delicacies and teas, patrons will be entertained with fashions from local area boutiques and fashion stores. Tables for the tea will be uniquely decorated by 18 different hostesses.
In keeping with the Mad Hatter theme, all who attend are encouraged to wear a hat, eloquent or outrageous. Patrons might even find characters such as Alice, the Mad Hatter, and White Rabbit wandering around the tea.
Tickets for this festive afternoon are $15 per person, and may be purchased at the Main Street Bowie office at 201-A Walnut Street.
Seating capacity is limited to 134 persons, so advance purchase is recommended. All proceeds benefit scholarship funds of both The Amity Club and the Bowie Alliance for Education and the Arts.
