13th Annual Georgian Picnic

Saturday, November 13th

1pm

It’s that time of year again – time for the Georgian Picnic! With an afternoon filled with charming Rococo and Regency costume, delicious food, fun period games, and lively conversation, it’s easy to see why this has become one of our most popular events! Bring your favorite picnic foods, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try your hand at an 18th Century recipe! All attempts and interpretations of 18th Century costume are welcome, from exacting recreations to dastardly pirates!

Our party will be held at River Legacy Park in Arlington, next to the Elm Grove Pavilion in the back of the park.

Address: 701 NW Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington, TX 76006

Bring blankets, chairs, food, games, family, and friends!

There will be a coffee maker, an ice maker, a refrigerator, and a microwave available as well if you prefer to bring your own food and drinks.

The hands-on portion of our event will take place in a large activity space that includes your own personal 5' table, ample electrical outlets, extra counter space, and an iron.

There is also a cozy living room with a TV.

Vintage Egypt Cancelled

Covid numbers here in North Texas are at an all-time high right now. We've been monitoring the situation in relation to our upcoming events, and have decided to cancel our upcoming outing to see Queen Nefertari's Egypt at the Kimbell Art Museum. As much as we were looking forward to resuming regular events this year, the health and safety of our members and guests must always come first. We are still considering whether or not to go ahead with the Arsenic & Lace Green Tea in March, or whether to postpone it to a later date. We will keep everyone updated on further developments. We hope all our subscribers are doing well, and continue to remain in good health! Stay safe!
