BERKELEY SPRINGS What a huge success the Tea Party in the Park was which was held on June 12, at the State Park, in Berkeley Springs.

Members of Ye Towne of Bath Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, which began in 1932, started the Tea Party in the Park in 2020 with the Morgan County Commemorative Event which led to the Annual Tea Party in the Park Annual Commemorative Event 2021.

The Tea Party in the Park grew with four vendors this year, Steve French Historian, Berkeley Springs Chamber of Commerce; Morgan County Arts Council; and Catherine Catanella from Ellens Tea Room who discussed the history of tea. Twelve members of the chapter dressed in Revolutionary Era dresses. Sweet tea, unsweetened tea and water along with scones, cookies and cupcakes were served to over 100 patrons.

Carolyn Scheydt, organizer of the event made sure educational material was distributed such as the flag code booklets, the Americans Creed, Pledge of Allegiance, Constitution booklet and the Pledge of Allegiance for the Deaf.

Patrons enjoyed receiving wooden American Flags and we gave a salute to our veterans. The DAR brochure was also distributed with hopes of increasing membership. State Regent Cheryl Brown attended and joyed in the fun. The eldest of our members, at the young age of 93, Nancy Edwards blessed us with her presence. Fun was had by all.
