Events: Valentine's Tea, and Cupid's Ball

Double events on the Saturday before Valentine's.  In the afternoon, Fort Steilacoom held their annual "Mrs. Casey's Tea" fundraiser, which featured an auction of fancy goods, delicious tea and cakes, a display of antique quilts, and costumed reenactors portraying fort residents and visitors.

Several members of the 4th proceeded to spend the evening dancing at Cupid's Ball, a period dinner and dance event hosted by Mrs. Keller-Scholz.  Mr., Mrs. and Miss Talbot danced much of the evening, as did Mr. Evans, and even Captain Jones joined in the terpsichorean exercises.
