Big Hats and Bow Ties

With its Big Hats and Bow Ties Brunch on Kettle Rock, set for Sunday, August 8, Highlands Historical Society resurrects a lovely tradition from a more gracious time. For reservations or more information, email [email protected], or call (828) 787-1050.
Highlands Historical Society invites the community to recapture a golden moment in Highlands History and attend their annual Big Hats and Bow Ties Brunch on Sunday, August 8, at 12:30 P.M.
This brunch is a homage to the legendary hostess powers of Doyenne Annie Linn Armor, who was known in the 60s and 70s for her Sunday pancake brunches at her home on Kettle Rock. An invitation to one of her brunches was much sought after and guests were treated like royalty. Still fondly remembered after all these years, the Historical Society delights in bringing the tradition back.
The event is hosted by George Lanier, in the reconstructed home of Mrs. Armor, which was originally built in 1915. This home features a panoramic view toward Blue Valley and South Carolina, and an exquisitely manicured lawn, perfect for a relaxed brunch with friends – wearing big hats and bow ties, in case you hadn’t guessed. Hats will be provided if you don’t have one you feel is suitable for such an occasion.
You won’t leave hungry as guests will be treated to a brunch fit for kings featuring pancakes (of course) and other items such as sausage, bacon, fresh fruit and beverages. Make plans now to join your neighbors and walk down Memory Lane, enjoying a gentler time when neighbors gathered for brunch and conversation.
Tickets to the event are $125. For more information please contact the Historical Society by emailing [email protected], or by calling (828) 787-1050. This event is the Historical Society’s primary fundraiser. The Highlands Historical Society is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Highlands for present and future generations.
