EVENT – A celebration of hats at Fulford Place

Sunday, June 24, 2012 at 1 p.m.

Join us on June 24 for a retrospective millinery fashion show and tea. This event will be held on the south veranda overlooking the St Lawrence River. The fashion show and talk will be presented by Norma Shephard, Founder/Director of the Mobile Millinery Museum & Costume Archive. Participants are encouraged to wear a hat and/or period costume. If you have an heirloom family hat, bring it with you so that Shephard can date it for you.

Afternoon tea will be served after the talk at approximately 2:30 p.m. Tickets, including admission, are $45 for adults and $30 for children (HST included).

On the day of the event, arrive early – any time between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and show your ticket at the reception desk for a tour of the house and/or the special exhibition: The Mode in Millinery 1899-1946.

Seating is limited to 56 people, so call early to purchase your ticket at 613-498-3003.
