Anne of Green Gables Tea Party This Saturday in Fonthill

Celebrate all things Avonlea and Anne with an “e” on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s 150th birthday. Drop in this Saturday, November 30 between 10 am – 1 pm at the Fonthill Branch (43 Pelham Town Square). Meet and take photos with “Anne” herself, plus make Anne-inspired crafts, including paper dolls and a straw-hat ornament. Step back in time and practice writing on a slate chalkboard (no breaking, please) and dress up and take photos in an 1800s photo booth. Tea and “raspberry cordial” will be available in the Festival Room. This is a free program for all ages. All activities are available while supplies last.
