A “Run for the Roses” Kentucky Derby-Style Tea Party will be presented by the Kenilworth Historical Society on Sat., May 14, 2022, at the Kenilworth Veterans Center (Kennedy Room), 33 South 21 Street.
The festivities, which will include an enlightening program highlighting the history of the Kentucky Derby, an indoor horse race, a gift auction and door prizes, will begin at 12:30 p.m. An array of assorted teas, tea sandwiches and desserts will be served. In keeping with the Kentucky Derby theme, the wearing of “fancy hats” is encouraged.
Admission is $30. Advance reservations (by April 23) are requested, as seating is limited. Safe social distancing practices will be observed. For reservations/tickets, please call 908-709-0434.
Proceeds from the tea party and gift auction will benefit the Kenilworth Historical Society’s Oswald J. Nitschke House (c. 1880) “living history” museum and cultural arts center by helping defray operating expenses, including the cost of an elevator that makes all levels of the site (“living history” museum, exhibition center and cultural arts center) fully accessible to everyone.
The Kenilworth Historical Society (www.kenilworthhistoricalsociety.org) is an independent, volunteer-based, non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to the research, preservation and interpretation of the Oswald J. Nitschke House (c. 1880), local history and culture.
