About this event
This year marks the 250th Anniversary of the Tryon Resolves. (Tryon County was dissolved in 1779 to form Lincoln County.) This Christmas Tea will feature a basket drawing, fancy hat contest, gifts to local schools and quite a bit of fun!
Admission covers entrance to the historic homestead decorated for Christmas and a tea with seasonal goodies. Single tickets are $25 and tables of 8 are $200 (plus Eventbrite fees and taxes). If you have a party smaller than 8 that would like to sit together, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate these requests.
Basket tickets may be purchased for the drawing. All proceeds from the basket drawing go directly to education and historical preservation projects in eastern Lincoln County. Tickets may be purchased in the following increments: 20 Tickets = $10, 40 Tickets = $20, 100 Tickets = $50, 200 Tickets = $100. 500 tickets = $250. You may want to bring address labels to place on the back of the tickets to expedite the process and prevent having to search for numbers. Basket tickets are also for sale on the day of the event.
A basket list will be published a week before the event.
