SBS Insurance - Hiawatha participates in Spring Tea

The 8th annual Spring Tea was held on April 18, 2010 at the Fischer Center in Hiawatha, KS. The SBS Hiawatha agency was invited to design and decorate a Tea Table for the event that is a fund raiser for the Morrill Public library. Table viewing and a silent action took place before the "afternoon tea" in which hors d'oeuvres and desserts were provided along with the tea.

A separate tea for young children and teens was also provided with specific entertainment at each. There were 31 different tables for a total of 217 places decorated by area businesses, organizations and individuals. This is a fun and creative way for anyone to support the local library and will continue for many years.

Nancy Daeschner and Andrea Groth designed & decorated table "Pinkaliciousness" based off of the book "Pinkalicious". For additional photo's of the other tables and this great fundraiser visit the Morrill Public Library website: http://www.hiawathalibrary.org/.
