Bella Doverspike won the American Girl Doll “Blaire” at a special tea last week.
The 20th Annual American Girl Tea was held on October 18 at Lenape Elementary’s cafeteria from 6-8 PM.
All in attendance received the book, Blaire, the American Girl Doll of 2019. The theme was “plant the seeds of friendship” which was written on the packet of sunflower seeds they received with a flower pot filled with candy corn as they registered.
The “picture area” had a barn as the backdrop with sunflowers, a scarecrow, pumpkins, corn, apples, all around a bale of hay. The young ladies sat there to have a photo of the evening. Also the words on the water can were “Grow with Love”.
The orange tablecloths were adorned with colorful chrysanthemums, and plates and cups with leaf patterns on them.
The window sills each had silk leaves with pumpkins and scarecrows. The young ladies were introduced with their dolls for the “parade of the dolls” by hostess for the evening Mrs. Joan Moore.
Next, the menu consisted of turkey, ham, and chicken salad croissant sandwiches with tea and lemonade, and Veggie Straws. The meal finished with cupcakes with fall rings on them.
All the young ladies created spectacular pumpkin centerpieces. Then the girls completed a quiz on the story, Blaire, that they were to read before the American Girl Tea.
A raffle was held for eleven “fall items”. Then door prizes were given out.
The American Girl Doll, Blaire, was won by Bella Doverspike. The young ladies enjoyed a special evening of friendship.
The following PTO members volunteers to help make the American Girl Tea a successful event for all in attendance: Peggy and Carlee Lloyd, Carol Hartman, Jessie and Lilly Cravener, Tiffany Unger, Amber Woodside, Amy and Haley Kirkwood.
