Tea with Eleanor Tickets – Friday, July 8

$10.00 each

Remember 1941 at the 2011 New Deal Festival!

We’re getting ready for this year’s New Deal Festival and we’re very excited about the events and activities we’ll be having this year! Our festival theme is “Remembering 1941.” Come experience Arthurdale at the cusp of the beginning of America’s involvement in WWII.

1941 on Display
This year we are very fortunate to have been loaned numerous pieces of New Deal and FDR political memorabilia from the private collection or Robert Fratkin. It is an amazing exhibit and the New Deal Festival is a wonderful opportunity to see it!

Living history will also be on display when we welcome Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt back to our event as well as reenactors portraying individuals and pre-WWII military recruiters from 1941.

Antique Car, Truck, Tractor, and Motorcycle Show
The Antique Car, Truck, Tractor Show is being expanded to include antique motorcycles this year. Registration is free and the first 50 registrants will receive a wall plaque and New Deal Festival t-shirt.

Tea with Eleanor and Quilt Show
Our annual Tea with Eleanor will take place the day before the main festival at the Arthurdale Inn. (Registration is required.) Come back to the Inn on Saturday to see the quilt show!

Kid’s Activities
We’re planning a bigger and better kid’s area with marble games and demonstrations, a collection of farm animals to feed and pet, games and other activities.

Live Entertainment! Wagon Rides and more!
We have a wonderful lineup of local old time, jazz, and bluegrass music that will be playing on the Center Hall front porch. Also, we’ll have horse-drawn wagon rides through Arthurdale all day.

If you have questions, please contact us! Looking forward to seeing you on July 9!
