A Regency Picnic at Pittock Mansionwww.pittockmansion.org/Join us for a picnic in costume (if you’re brave) at the Pittock Mansion in Portland on Sunday, July 20, 2008 at noon. It’s a BYOS (Bring Your Own Stuff) event. What you pack in, must be packed out. The grounds are lovely for photos, and the mansion interior is also a classic venue to take pictures as well. The interior is decorated beautifully. The exterior has lovely balconies and paths to explore. The use of the grounds is free (as it is a public park), however tours of the mansion require a small fee: Adults $7.00 Seniors (65+) $6.00 Youth (6-18) $4.00 There is also a lovely gift shop on site. Bring your picnic basket, your bonnet, your camera and your family. We will hold some games; as well as another raffle, so bring a few dollars for tickets. Be aware, this is a public park, so you will be in costume among park-goers. Please RSVP your interest in attending, and please try to carpool; parking at the Mansion is limited. www.orregency.org

I'm not sure about events with beer or wine... Oh dear. Then that may be an issue, because we're tossing around the idea of serving wine at the annual ball and possibly at the Midsummer Night's masquerade. It's a regency event, so you can count on folks being civil and genteel, that's the whole point of our events, I'm sure it won't be a wild pack of drunken crazies. If worse comes to worse and you are completely wine-averse, there are still the picnics.

Lauren, those are some lovely photos. I saw some very pretty dresses. One of them with her hair wrapped gave me an idea of what to do with my bangs. Thank you for posting this.
