 The annual Tea at the Red house was popular at Sherman Old Home Days this past weekend. “It’s a time for ladies of all ages to meet on a Saturday afternoon for tea,” said organizer Jarice Kelley. In a manner reminiscent of a more graceful era, Kelley described how ladies and girls will gather for their garden party and sip tea poured from silver teapots into porcelain cups. All guests were eligible for a special door prize — an Island Hat — donated by Kelley’s sister, Dorinda Putnam, who owns Queen of Hats in Portland. Winners of the drawings at this year’s Tea were, from left, front: Skyla Lewis and Alise Crawford. Back row, Elizabeth Tozier and Paula Wilson. More information and photos from this year’s Old Home Days will be published in a future issue. |
