HPI Tour of Tables
Historic Pipestone, Inc. will hold a “Tour of Tables” May 14 at First Presbyterian Church in Pipestone. Doors open at 10 a.m. so visitors can view the set tables. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. Tickets, $20 each, will be sold by each table host. Tickets for touring, without lunch, are $5 and will be available at the door. For those unfamiliar with what a Tour of Table is: Volunteers offer to set, decorate and host a table. Each host picks a theme and decorates the table accordingly, with appropriate dishes, decorations or accessories of their choice. Each host will be given the number of tickets to fill each seat at their table. If the hosts are unable to sell the tickets allotted to them, they can turn them in for sale to others. “We will be serving a nice lunch and offering music and door prizes,” said Laurie Ness, HPI chair for the event. Ness said up to 18 tables will be available. Some circular tables require a table service of six, while rectangular tables require service for eight. People who would like to host a table should contact or leave a message with Ness (507-215-0651) or talk to any HPI board member. Several tables have already been assigned. “Ever wondered what to do with mother’s or grandmother’s china, that set of favorite Christmas dishes or fun outdoorsy table settings? This is your chance to show it off,” Ness said. Funds raised by the event will be used entirely for HPI’s ongoing renovation and maintenance of the Historic St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
