Thursday Night

7-9pm

 “I Want Candy”

…And candy you shall have!  Cotton candy, peppermints, lollipops, chocolate bars, you name it!  Grab your brightest, candy-colored garb and come satisfy your sweet tooth at the sugar-coated opening event, where we’ll deliciously welcome you to Tonner Town.  There will, of course, be sweet treats at this dessert event, as you say hello to your old friends and make new ones.  Think old-fashioned sweet treats, penny candy, and a time when sweets were one of your top priorities:  The Age of Innocence! 

*This event is included in your registration.

 

Friday brunch

11am – 1pm

“Wilde Innocence”

Hang Wilde Style at this tempting brunch!  Wilde Imagination is the name of the game at this event, and no one does it better than Ellowyne Wilde and Evangeline Ghastly, who will both be in attendance and available for purchase.  Let’s face it:  You were born to be Wilde!

*This event is included in your registration.

 

Friday Dinner

6-8pm

“Great Scott!”

Straight out of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, this breakout event is sure to be as legendary as one of Jay Gatsby’s epic galas.  The Roaring 20s is the theme for this grand affair, and you can wear your finest 20s style garb, just like Daisy Buchanan.  Think flapper-style and the Roaring 20s when you garner your duds, and think big because there will be a costume contest…and an exciting period 16” fashion doll souvenir!  Space is limited so register early.

*This event is a breakout event and the cost is $199 per person and is limited to 150 attendees.

 

Saturday breakfast

8:30 – 10am

“Go Fly a Kite”

Let’s go fly a kite and look to the skies for our lost childhood, once filled with innocence and wonder.  And no one does innocence better than Patsy!  Come as your 7 year old self, and be as curious, carefree, and imaginative as we all once were.  This breakout breakfast is sure to be filled with awe and amazement, so make sure you don’t miss it…and if you’re a Patsy lover, you won’t be disappointed! 

*This event is a breakout event and the cost is $149* per person and is limited to 200 attendees.

 

Saturday lunch

12:30 – 2:30pm

Welcome to the 60’s”

This bash is totally far out, man!  Come dressed in your coolest hippie gear or smooth and sleek 60s Mod attire and join us for a one groovy shindig…it will be a gas!  With a righteous presentation and some outta sight fashion dolls, peace and harmony will reign supreme.  You’ll be jazzed about your cherry Sydney souvenir…and Tyler will make an appearance too!  Get hip to the action and sign up for this rad breakout event today!

*This event is a breakout event and the cost is $175 per person and is limited to 125 attendees.

 

Raffles

Saturday, 4:30-5:30pm

We’re trying something new this year:  We’re closing the Raffle Room at 3:30pm on Saturday, and drawing the winners between Saturday lunch and the Saturday banquet, from 4:30-5:30pm.  That way, everyone can attend AND we can get our groove on at an amazing Dance Party at the Banquet!  Sometimes, you just gotta dance…

 

Saturday banquet

7-10:30pm

“Carousel Ball”

Stop to think at a wishing well and my thoughts send me on a carousel.  Climb aboard this carousel of fun!  As you don your Edwardian threads, think Downton Abbey and  grab the reins and hop on this Carousel for a round and round of ups and downs!  We’ll dine, we’ll share an exciting evening of doll talk and period fashion, and we’ll dance the night away, our sweet tooth satisfied!  As you open your splendid 16” fashion doll souvenir, you’ll be turned upside down like a merry-go-round.  Ah, life is but a carnival!

*This event is included in the cost of registration.

 

Sunday Breakfast

9-11am

“Green Eggs and Ham”

I do so like
green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am!

-Dr. Seuss, Green Eggs and Ham                     

Come dressed as your favorite Dr. Seuss character, and enjoy a special feast. 

We sure hope you will enjoy the extravaganza… 

That is not to say the least!

 

We’ll be holding our famed OOAK Charity Auction, and we’ll break bread together one last time.

The whole morning will be filled with joy and delight…and we’ll speak in rhyme! 

 

We’ll celebrate color and fashion galore in a way that only we can. 

OH what great fun we’ll have, yes that is our genius plan!

 

Saying goodbye is bittersweet and will be no fun at all.

But remember, next year we’ll all be together again -

And we’re sure to have a ball!
