BLOOMINGTON -- You have to keep kids on
their toes these days, and that's the whole idea behind a new
fundraising event Sunday at the David Davis Mansion State Historic
Site in Bloomington.
|
"Victorian Elegance," a fundraiser for the U.S.A. Ballet Youth
Ensemble, will begin with a Victorian tea inside the Davis Mansion,
during which guests will be treated to a children's fashion show
featuring spring and summer wardrobe essentials modeled by students
of the U.S.A. Ballet Academy. Immediately following tea, the Tea
Ladies will offer a presentation on "Outrageous Etiquette of the
Victorian Era." The afternoon will come to a beautiful end as guests
adjourn to the front lawn to enjoy a presentation of the classical
ballet "Les Sylphides" performed by the U.S.A. Ballet Youth
Ensemble. Two seatings are available for the May 27 event, 1 and
3 p.m., and ticket purchasers should indicate which seating they
prefer. The cost is $20 and seating is limited. Tickets are
available at the Garlic Press in Normal, the David Davis Mansion and
U.S.A. Ballet Studios at 105 W. Jefferson in Bloomington. Call
309-820-0300 for ticket information.
The David Davis Mansion
State Historic Site, administered by the Illinois Historic
Preservation Agency, is the mid-1870s home of U.S. Supreme Court
Justice David Davis and his wife, Sarah. Tours of the Victorian
masterpiece, located at 1000 E. Monroe in Bloomington, are available
