Cottonwood Mansion Dolly Tea Party-Grandmother/Mother/Daughter/Dolly

Our annual Dolly Tea Party on Saturday May 6th is another sell out with 100 mothers and daughters attending. It is such a success that it was sold out on the day of the 2016 tea party. The girls and their mothers/grandmothers enjoy a luncheon tea, crafts and activities. The day also includes special food and craft for the dolls. This year's theme involves magical unicorns and rainbows. The girls, ages 2 to 15, all have a wonderful day. Isn't it wonderful that their mothers get to come with them!
