We have a good selection of books and mini American Girl dolls for stocking stuffers at the museum gift shop.

Our American Girl Doll Tea Party was held last Saturday, December 9 to great success. Twenty eight girls ages 8 to 12 attended the event along with their American Girl dolls. We had only two no shows.  We had purchased a tea party kit from American Girl which included games and party ideas.  The girls played several games, participated in a craft project for Christmas and enjoyed pink lemonade, cupcakes, cookies, cream puffs and a variety of finger sandwiches including cucumber, pimento cheese and strawberry jam.

 



 

Everyone received a goody bag with American Girl stickers, American Girl bookmark, chocolates and other things.  The high light of the afternoon was the door prize drawing. One lucky girl received a Caroline mini doll and two others received Caroline books.  Caroline is the newest American Girl historical character doll.

 

The American Girl party kit was developed for just 30 girls, a nice size for playing games and crafts. We had many more calls for reservations that we couldn't fill this time, so we've scheduled a second American Girl Doll Tea Party for March 16, 2013 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm.  The cost remains just $15 and reservations must be prepaid by March 12, 2013.  A separate Mom's Tea (different room) with food and a craft is also available for $15.00. For reservations call 513-932-1817.
