SUMMARY:Patriots and Tories Tea
DESCRIPTION:The yearly tradition continues! The LCHS will once again host a spring tea\, this time with a Semi-Quincentennial twist! And at a new larger venue\, the Community Educational Partnership Center of Luzerne County Community College\, 521 Trailblazer Drive\, Nanticoke PA 18634. \n  \nJoin us on Sunday\, April 19th at 1pm as we travel back in time to 1776 and join the ongoing discussions about the coming Revolution! Which side are you on? Do you feel Independence is inevitable? Or do you feel the Crown is the best option for America? Each table will feature re-enactors championing one position or the other\, and will encourage you to join the debate and pick a side! Talk 18th century politics and events over a traditional sit down tea. (Which the Crown has taxed heavily\, of course!) \n  \nTickets are $25 per person and include sandwiches\, the tea\, and the program. Period dress is welcomed\, but not required. Reservations are required for this event\, limited tickets are available\, and like last year\, it will no doubt sell out. For questions or more information\, call 570-823-6244 x3 or email reservations@luzernehistory.org \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nA special thanks to our hosts:
