Do you have any old programs, trophies or photos from past Oak Bay Tea Party celebrations?
Organizers of the annual Oak Bay community gala, celebrating its 50th anniversary on June 2 and 3, are looking for items to put in a display to be created for this year’s Tea Party at Willows Park.
Maureen Thomson, chair of the 50th anniversary committee, said items can include any kind of personal memorabilia, from medals for swimming races to Jimmy Chicken (Mary Tod) Island to old bathtub or teacup race photos – the more unusual the better.
Part of the historic reflection will see volunteers do “news flashes” for the crowd, highlighting various events over the past 50 years.
To donate or loan out items for use in the display, contact Thomson at 250-595-6345
