2 pm - High Tea

End your afternoon on a delightful note with High Tea, presented by the Poplarville Woman’s Club. Indulge in a charming selection of savory and sweet treats, all perfectly paired with a warm cup of tea.

Contrary to what you might think, the “high” in High Tea doesn’t refer to high class, but rather to the tall tables it’s traditionally served on. Beyond the tea itself, it’s an experience that’s about sharing stories, laughter, and good company—an opportunity to slow down and savor life’s little moments.

Don’t miss this chance to enjoy an elegant, relaxed gathering filled with conversation and community!
