Crossville Arts Council is busy with so let’s join them!
Here's another one to put on your calendar: On September 20th during the next Classic Car Cruise-in, Ruthie of Ruthie's Antiques has offered to let the Crossville Arts Council use her garden for an afternoon tea party. Ladies, don you best chapeau (or come bareheaded if you wish) and come for afternoon tea. Ruthie's garden is filled with antique garden furniture and billowing pots of flowers. Wildwood Catering will be serving up their own special chicken salad and other treats, and Ruthie's garden seats about 80 people, so come early for the prime spots in the shade. Let's see - shall we have a strolling musician??? This is a fundraiser for the Crossville Arts Council, and tickets are $10. Tea will be served at 3:00. Park in Ruthie's parking lot on both sides of her building, or across West Avenue in the big lot there. Respond to this email for a reservation, or call 484-8234 or 456-2006 and leave a message. In the event of rain, we will adjourn to
the building next to Ruthie's. Brave men are also welcome.
Look forward to seeing you in all these places in the coming month.
Judy Pearson, President
Crossville Arts Council
