From WOOD COUNTY MUSEUM
The Wood County Museum welcomes Trinidad Linares, Bowling Green State University, as the guest speaker for the upcoming Tea & Talk Series event on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2-4: p.m. at the Wood County Museum, 13660 County Home Road, Bowling Green.
“Asian American Weddings: Adaptation Not Literal Translation” will take a look at how Hollywood may make it seem like Asian-American weddings are fully steeped in Asian traditions centuries old. The truth is no matter how representative Asian Americans want to be of their culture they will have to adapt to meet the needs of the couple and their guests, which makes them very American.
The talk is in conjunction with the current exhibit “Allure & Illusion: A Rose Colored Romance.”
The Museum has also partnered with The Summer Kitchen in Helena for the tea being served at the event. This month’s featured tea will be “Passion Fruits” – The memories of the Copacabana Beach in Rio. Papaya pieces, sunflower petals and criminally exotic passion fruit notes infuse superior green tea.
Reservations and payment need to be paid by Friday, Aug 5 by either calling 419-352-0967 or visiting woodcountyhistory.org. Admission is $23 for adults and $18 for Wood County Historical Society members. Admission includes tea, light refreshments by Carpe Diem Catering, Pemberville and the program. The Museum is open for self-guided tours and is handicap accessible.
This program is part of a monthly tea series hosted by the Wood County Museum. A complete list of teas and other programs can be found at woodcountyhistory.org.
