PEONY TEA PARTY SUNDAY JUNE 15th - 1 to 4 PM
At Runaway Moon Theatre’s Peony Tea Party, guests dine on strawberry shortcakes surrounded by a field full of peonies for the picking, while music echoes through the air.
The seventh annual event, being held Sunday June 15th from 1 to 4 p.m., celebrates the season with a range of activities on Curly Willow Farm.
“This drop-in event has all the colour and whimsy of a Runaway Moon Theatre performance, but lets people choose what they’d like to do — browse through our newly redone puppet museum, explore the peony field, make a craft or just relax, sip tea and enjoy the unique atmosphere,” said Jaci Metivier, Runaway Moon’s general manager.
Visitors can also do some transparent vegetable art as a part of the food project, browse the intriguing items in the silent auction or dance the Maypole.
Michelle Carriere, a Runaway Moon Theatre director, said the support of the musicians who play at the fundraiser is crucial.
“Popleko Balkan Choir sings for us every year. This year, Willy Gaw and his musical family, Jayme McKillop, and Kristi Setter will also be a part of the entertainment.”
Tickets are available at the door, $6 for adults, and $3 for children. Each ticket includes free tea or drinks. Curly Willow Farm is located on Tomkinson Road in Grindrod. Take Highway 97B north of Enderby towards Sicamous; turn right at Surecrop Feeds in Grindrod onto Tomkinson Road, and continue to the end of the road (about 1/4 mile).
