MEXICO — Mexico Public Library will host an American Girl Tea Party for girls ages 6-11 at 1 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15, at the Calvin Lyons Hall, next door to the library.

Those attending will meet American Girls Marie-Grace and Cecile, and travel back in time to the 1850s in New Orleans. These two girls who lived during that era were friends together in the old city.

Girls who attend will work on a craft and participate in activities from that era. A tea party, with real china cups, and light refreshments will be enjoyed by the girls.

Every girl who attends may enter drawings to win two miniature Marie-Grace and Cecile collectible dolls, and also their introductory books, “Meet Marie-Grace” and “Meet Cecile.”

American Girl dolls are invited to attend with their owners. Although not necessary, girls are invited to dress in the style of clothing that was popular for girls in 1850s New Orleans.

RSVPs are encouraged by Wednesday, Aug. 13. For more info, call 364-3281 or inquire at the Circulation Desk.
