Annual Ladies Academy

Historic
Jefferson College
Washington, MS
Please join us for a celebration of ten years of the Ladies
Academy! So much has been enjoyed by re-enacting ladies since the
inception of the Academy. Ten years of fun, relaxation, inspiration,
fellowship, and friendships!
This year's events include a Victorian High Tea, Fashion
show of your accomplishments, Croquet tournament (weather permitting) Bonnet
embellishments, fine-stitching and sewing for garments withi fabric selection
guidance. All classes are hands-on so be sure to bring your sewing
kit. Don't forget the traditional swap shop where you can exchange
items, either new or used, with others. The Saturday evening highlight
will once again be the famous "Dirty Yankee Exchange" so bring a small
gift to trade.
All meals (except Sat. Lunch) will be provided and there will be able bodies to assit in setting up your period camp "home". Bring your period attire as you will be dressed each day. The Academy is open to the public and we want to be sure the spectators will experience an 1860's event. The Ladies Academy requests no men, children or pets for the weekend.
Registration: $35. by March 15. Make checks payable
to "Ladies Academy"
