The trunk show will be in the covered walkways from 1 to 4 p.m. The tea will be inside the Community Hall and will include Tea & Nibbles with a variety of musical performances by the choral groups form the high school.
The tea seating is at 2 p.m.; doors will open at 1 p.m.
There will also be gift raffles and silent auctions.
Tickets will be sold before the event for $15.
The trunk show will feature approximately 30 local businesses and artisans.
