Continuing the celebration of the 200th year of Wayne County, the Bicentennial Committee is hosting a fashion show and tea at 2:30 on September 26, 2010.
The fashions will cover decades from the early 1800’s up through more “modern” fashions of the 1970’s. They will include both women’s and men’s fashions as well as children. Amateurs and professional reenactors will model the clothes, with a possible surprise guest of notoriety making a visit from another century.
Displays will cover original fashions, too fragile to be worn from the earlier 19th century, as well as tables of accessories—hats, purses, shoes, etc.
Included in this fashion show, to be held at the Lingle Auditorium at Reid Hospital, will be a tea with finger foods. Tickets will be sold at festivals and various locations through September 12th, including :
In Hagerstown:
- Across The Street Antiques
- Main Street Antiques Unique
- Hagerstown Museum and Arts Place
In Greensfork:
- Clay Township Museum
Richmond:
