Smith Plantation is planning the Eighth Annual Tea and Hat Fashion Shows in conjunction with Roswell Roots: A Festival of Black History and Culture on Saturday, February 20. Two seatings are planned at 12 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

The shows will include an informal tea and a fashion show as our guest speaker, Vernell Washington, shares her knowledge of hat design and the relationship between women and their hats. Washington is returning as a presenter for her sixth Tea & Hat Show. Washington will bring the fashions of Nigerian designer Grace Mark’s Chapeaux as part of her presentation, as well as a discussion of the history of hats and the art of headwrapping.

Women are encouraged to wear their hats while enjoying tea and light refreshments.

Space for teas is limited. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the Smith Plantation office at 770.641.3978.  Admission is $15 for ages 8 and above.
