HARKER HEIGHTS The Stewart C. Meyer Harker Heights Public Library hosted its first Bridgerton Tea Party to a crowd of about 100 well-dressed individuals wearing their finest dining and social wear Saturday.

The tea party was set up as a social event coinciding with the TV show Bridgertons mid-season premier.

According to library staffer Jazmyne Lee, who was dressed in a beautiful yellow dress as the character Queen Charlotte for the event, the party was a fun excuse for people to dress in their favorite outfits, have a good time and get hyped for the new block of shows premiering on Netflix.

Bridgerton is a historical romance television series based on books by Julia Quinn. The series is set during the early 1800s in an alternative London Regency era, in which George III established racial equality and raised many people of African descent to the nobility due to the African heritage of his wife, Queen Charlotte.

Library Director Lisa Youngblood was at the event, but she was quick to elevate Lees role in the programs planning and success.

Lee, likewise lifted others up and thanked the many volunteers who made the event possible.

Im really proud of our volunteers because, yes, I had the vision but they were able to make the vision to come life, she said. Im thankful that they were so eager to help out; its what made it all amazing!

Among the many attendees were two Chaparral High School students, Avril Dolin and Xaniya Newton.

Dolin and Newton were excited to join the event for a fun summer activity to get out of the house and dress up. Dolin has watched the TV show, but her friend Newton hasnt seen it yet. However, that may change soon.

I may be watching the show now, Newton said. Ill definitely come back if they do another party like this.
