Discover Vintage Fashion Secrets and Holiday Magic at Harrison County's Christmas Extravaganza!

Prepare to be blown away this holiday season as the Harrison County Historical Museum goes all out! Starting with a mesmerizing Christmas Tea and Vintage Fashion Show on December 7th, this event is touted to be the ultimate "Girls Day Out!" 🎉👗 Imagine indulging in delicious tea and desserts while witnessing a parade of vintage styles, thanks to Marcia Thomas and her incredible collection spanning the elegant eras from the 1880s to the 1980s.

Get ready to ooh and aah as local stars like Starla Pelz and Nadine Hopp rock the runway, and don't miss the special moment when Thomas herself graces the stage in her grandmother's cherished ensemble. Ever wondered what secrets an old hatbox might hold? Thomas will reveal its connection to renowned journalist Barry Benefield, adding layers of intrigue to the show!

Thomas isn't just any vintage fashion enthusiast; she's been hooked since her childhood adventures with her grandmother’s collection, curating her own stash since the '60s and '70s for fundraising fashion shows. Her legacy includes a traveling vintage show and writing plays with historical roots, like the curious tale of "Texian Woman."

But that's not all—when the clock strikes 6 p.m., the museum team will dazzle in period attire during the festive Christmas parade!

Hold onto your hats, because there's more! December 11 brings the melodic "Caroling at the Courthouse" in collaboration with Anne Leslie Tijerina of the Marshall Music Club. Sing along from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.! 🎶🎄

And on December 19, don't miss the magical Wassail Walk from 4 to 7 p.m. Come claim the museum as the best stop of the evening, filled with festive cheer and decorations inside the courthouse, thanks to a stunning partnership with Lacy Burson and the Main Street crew.

And if you're into the spirit of giving, don't forget the delightful Kwanzaa exhibit crafted by Gayle Keys for a truly diverse seasonal celebration.
