Garden Fete Displays Crinoline Era At Art League
Bridgeport Art League hosted a lawn festival titled A Garden festival in Crinoline Days, with guests in period gowns, music from Elias Howe school orchestra, and dance performances. Vendors sold cakes, candy, and crafts to support the league as booths and flower shows drew crowds on Clinton avenue. Prizes were awarded for rose and flower arrangements, with dozens of blue ribbons recognizing enthusiasm and artistry, and the event promised a repeat later with Lincoln school orchestra adding further entertainment.
