The Granby Women’s Breakfast Group will celebrate its 20th anniversary in grand style on Wednesday, June 5. The Antique Bridal Show and Tea promises to be a very special morning. In addition to the delicious scones and mini quiches that will be served with tea and coffee at 8:30 a.m., participants will be delighted to look at the wedding gowns and bridal photos displayed in the large meeting room at the senior center. Ladies are encouraged to wear a spring-like or decorated hat to mark the occasion! Entertainment and the program will start at 10 a.m.
The founders of the group have been hard at work for months convincing women to bring in wedding dresses and other bridal mementos. Failing the actual dresses, photographs were requested. Accompanying this piece is a photo of my mother, Ida Julia Annulli, on her wedding day, April 29, 1949. In June 1975, my sister wore our mother’s dress when she married. I had high hopes of displaying this beautiful gown at the anniversary tea but learned that my sister cut it up for various sewing projects over the years. Alas, photographs from 1949 and 1975 will have to suffice.
Ladies, please make your reservations for June 5 early as the event is expected to sell out. Call the senior center at 860-844-5352. You can pay $5 at the door, but need to reserve in advance.
