Sedona Heritage Museum Schedules Centennial Tea

Sedona AZ (January 31, 2012) – The Sedona Heritage Museum with the assistance of a local antique collectors club will be hosting a tea in honor of Arizona’s Centennial year on March 1, 2012. The Thursday afternoon tea will be served at 2 p.m. to ticket holders.

The Centennial Tea will raise matching funds for projects at the Sedona Heritage Museum and for other historic preservation work.

“How fortunate we all are to be here to honor Arizona’s 100th birthday in 2012.” said  Victoria Clark, chair of the tea. “We thought this birthday tea was a fitting opportunity for a special celebration and a chance to support historically significant places in our town.”

A 2011 tea in honor of Sedona Schnebly’s birthday was a sold-out success.

“We decided to host another tea this year because it presents an entertaining venue for the community to enjoy a historic style event.” explained Linda Starr, one of the Centennial tea hostesses.

The 2012 museum and antique collectors tea will have a Victorian period theme, the era during which Arizonans struggled with the debates and hurdles of becoming a state and when it celebrated acceptance into the Union. Each table will be overseen by a hostess who will decorate her table with personal china, glassware, silver and decor. Centerpieces will highlight an Arizona state flag.

The program, “Victorian Dress – from the Foundation Up”, will be given by Bonnie Russell, President of the Prescott Victorian Society. An expert who narrates Victorian fashion shows and makes costumes and wearable clothes from this era, Ms. Russell will present all the layers of proper Victorian attire from undergarments to accessories.

Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased at the Sedona Heritage Museum. The tea will be held at the Church of the Red Rocks, SR 179, Sedona Arizona.

The Sedona Heritage Museum’s mission is to research, preserve and teach the history of the greater Sedona area. For information, contact Victoria Clark at 928-284-3120 or Linda Starr at 928-282-9027.
