New adventures around every turn include a treat for tots, Foods with Funny Names, along with fairy garden art for older youth and adults. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be Pressed Flower Art with Alice Prall and Pottery with Joan Glusiec demonstrations planned periodically throughout the day. A 2 p.m. Victorian Tea fundraiser benefitting the non-profit invites guests age eight and up to enjoy tea sandwiches, fresh baked goodies, as well as teas and lemonade.
