“I’m LATE, I’m LATE, for a very important date! Read the DIRECTIONS and DIRECTLY you will be DIRECTED in the right DIRECTION!”
The fifth annual Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, a benefit for Opportunity Connections, is about to begin! Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic story “Alice in Wonderland,” tea will be served at the elegant Columbia Gorge Hotel in Hood River, accompanied by delicious canapés, cakes and sandwiches. The mad Hatter, Alice, and the White Rabbit, along with Lewis Carroll, will mingle with guests in their best tea-time attire.
You can take part in a game of lawn croquet with the pink flamingos and try your chance at Alice’s cakewalk. Silent auctions of treasures and raffles offered for your enjoyment.
There will be a hat and attire contest, along with something new — a themed “Once Upon a Cake” decorating contest for all enthusiasts ranging from children to professionals.
Tea time is 2 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact the Opportunity Connections website, Facebook or call Katie Maple at 541-386-3520 ext. 7003. Tickets are $25 and on sale at Klints and Waucoma book stores.
“Once Upon a Cake” decorating contest entrants will compete for four $100 cash prizes.
The Alice in Wonderland-themed cake decorating contest will have four categories with cash prizes open to all ages and abilities, ranging from children five years of age up to professionals. The cakes are sure to add more imagination to this already storybook afternoon.
