Girls dress up for a real tea party at Richmond Library

By Howard B. Owens

The phrase "tea party" has taken on a new meaning these days, but this morning a group of pre-school girls were on hand at the Richmond Memorial Library to reclaim the term for things more frivolous than worrying about government and taxes.

It was the "Fancy Nancy Tea Party," named after a series of popular children books.

About a dozen girls were on hand with their mothers, dressing up, decorating their own cups and plates and then sitting down to a real tea party.

Above are Mia, 3, and her friend Jadyn, 4.

Kaitlin, 2.

Violet, 3.

The women organizing and supervising the event were also all dressed up for the occassion. Above is June Lee.
