Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea & Silent Auction

Fans of the PBS series Downton Abbey gathered at the Hantsport Memorial Community Centre on November 30 in their best bibs and tuckers to imagine having tea at the Abbey. 
This fund raiser for the Hantsport Public Library attracted local and area ladies.
Tea goers thoroughly enjoyed the experience organized by Margot Bureaux aided by Lois Burgess and a cast of other volunteers. Bidders went home with items from the auction. 

Quite a crush of eager tea goers at the door. 

Welcome to Downton Abbey!

Many of the ladies came in appropriate attire.
