A Beautiful Beginning:

Mid-Summer Tea & Brunch

Our very first Lexington, Missouri Merchants Association event, the Mid-Summer Tea & Brunch, was held this past weekend—and what a wonderful success it was!

The temperatures were warm, the tea was flowing, and the room was filled with laughter, conversation, and a newfound interest in the world of herbal teas. Our presenter, Courtney Durham of The Chic Farmacyst, generously shared her knowledge, personal experiences, stories, and encouragement with our guests. We are incredibly grateful for the thoughtful and engaging program she provided.

We would also like to recognize our talented table sponsors. Their creativity, attention to detail, and unique personalities transformed the room into a whimsical wonderland and made every table feel like its own special experience.
