Those of you who enjoyed our Mad Hatter Tea in 2023, will be happy to know that we’re hosting a literary tea on October 5th called the LiteraTea Party. We’ll be celebrating both National Book Month and National Pet Wellness Month, a cause near to our hearts. So mark your calendar and join us at the Black Forest Community Center for a fun event to raise much-needed funds for pets in need.

When you book your tickets, going on sale in September, you’ll be able to choose a table named after your favorite author — J.R.R. Tolkien, Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Dr. Seuss, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Arthur Conan Doyle, Lewis Carroll, Agatha Christie, and Charles Dickens (authors subject to change). Dress up as a character from one of their books — or come as yourself — an animal-loving bookworm who enjoys a good cuppa tea.

The event will feature an afternoon tea buffet, costume contest, a small silent auction and boutique, as well as literary and tea trivia for prizes. Stay tuned to our Facebook page and website as additional details come together. Pinkies up!

We’re also looking for event sponsors. If you or your company is interested in sponsoring the LiteraTea Party, please contact our director at cbullock@harleys-hopefoundation.org.
