Everyone is encouraged to participate in the “Dress to the Time in 1909” Day. At 2 PM, there will be a fashion show and contest to decide who has the most authentic 1909 apparel (either authentic or reproduction).

Prizes will be awarded! Entrants will be judged on costume authenticity and clothing that best reflects the early 1900s society dress. In those days, gentleman donned boater or straw hats, vests, bow ties and perhaps a fancy walking cane. Fine ladies were adorned with large ornate hats, blouses with high collars, frilly bell-shaped skirts and parasols. Young boys dressed in knickers with white shirts and ties, and girls often wore dresses with oversized sailor collars.
