Fashion Show at the Jefferson County Historical Society

If you enjoy history and fashion, you will surely want to attend an event at the Jefferson County Historical Society on Tuesday, July 7th at noon. Join your friends in the Society’s Victorian Garden for a luncheon followed by a fashion show featuring fashions of today as well as yesteryear.
The festivities will begin with a social time at noon when you can enjoy mimosas, ice tea or lemonade. A 12:30 luncheon will follow in the garden. This will be catered by Johnny D’s, a local downtown business. The menu will consist of petite sandwiches of seafood salad and Mediterranean chicken as well as fresh fruit and summer salads. Mini cheesecakes, fudge brownies and éclairs round out the luncheon fare.
Mannequins dressed in fashions from the Society’s collection will be on display throughout the garden tent. Outfits worn by Mrs. Sarah Flower, wife of Gov. Roswell P. Flower as well as clothing belonging to Marietta Holley, Mrs. Grace Sherman and Emma Foster will be featured.
Today’s fashions will be courtesy of Bev and Company of Sackets Harbor, NY. There will also be a fashion exhibit on display in the back gallery.
The fee for the luncheon and fashion show is $30 for members and $33 for non-members. Paid reservations will be accepted until June 26th and can be made by phoning the Historical Society at 782-3491.
