Rae House Museum Mother-Daughter Tea

Duane Ausherman


This year's Tea was organized by Brenda Renfrow, owner of Galt Frostie, a showcase for historical photos of early Galt and the pioneers.  Her numerous volunteers performed as a well trained organization.  The weather was perfect and the grounds were beautiful.


This is the Rae House Museum rear lawn with the dining tables and music.

A beautiful day, good food, wonderful people and nicely kept lawns made for a very nice time.

The registration table for buying a winning raffle ticket. The Rae House Museum is shown in the background. It is one of the nicest restored Victorian homes in Galt California.

These registration workers (l. to r.) Robin Reuthinger and Sonia Reyes are helping hand out tickets and sell raffle tickets.

The front yard of the Rae House Museum provided some shaded areas for the crafter show ehibitors.

More than a dozen crafters showed up to support the Galt Area Historical Society's craft fair.

These smiley faces were representative of the general mood of this very fine day in Galt, California.

Cathy Patterson, Christina and Mary Patterson represent Avon with some fine products.  Reach her at 209-323-0900

Cheerful Al Baldwin is showing and selling his hobby of photos and poetry. He is a past president of the Galt Area Historical Society.

Al Baldwin was more interested in talking than posing for a photo.  Al is one of Galt's most fervent supporters.

Doris Williams is showing her quilts, one of which is to be raffled off to support Alicia Villano, one of our softball players going to competition in Utah.

Old fashioned quilts adorn this table.  Doris Williams (209-745-2186) offers these items that are great for gifts, or your own home.  One quilt is being raffled off to raise funds to send a grand daughter to the Triple Crown World Series in Utah.

These two should have gotten an award for having the most smiles of the day. One the left is Salena Partida who knits clothing. On the right is Tyais Lobalo of Crocheted Crations.

These two were not content to just sit around and smile (of which they did plenty) but were also knitting the entire day.  Left, Salena Partida (916-256-8384) and right Tyais Lobalo (916-683-4326) both produce some nice clothing.

On the left is eight year old Jill and her mother, Janice McAuliffe offering Cookie Lee fashion jewelry.

In the corner of the Rae House Museum was Cookie Lee jewelry by Jill (8) and her mother Janice McAuliffe.  Call 916-689-4585 for your orders.

Wendy Spencer of Galt and her troop of entertainers at the Rae House Museum's Mother Daughter Tea.

Singers Company Children's Show Choir entertained with many songs and dances.  Wendy Spencer (209-744-9878) leads these girls K-6th to perform.  Talk about cute and precious.

This table was filled with donations from Galt merchants for the 2006 Mother and Daughter Tea at the Rae House Museum.

The raffle prizes were overflowing the table and it is all due to the generosity of Galt shops and residents.  See the donor list below and support these fine community merchants.

Holly Raker with Mary Kay products lives just around the corner from the Rae House Museum. This was an easy commute for Holly.

Mary Kay was unable to attend the 2006 Mother Daughter Tea so she sent Holly Raker in her place.  We are the lucky ones.  She can be reached at 209-745-2467.

These three charmers, Tanya Bennett, Alicia Garcia-Green and Catreena Lusk are part of The Body Shop network.

Watch out for the tall one on the left.  She is Tanya Bennett and can sell just about anything.  It is rumored that the national "truth in advertising" law requires her to wear that "Coconut Addict" T shirt.  I am sure that there is more to the story.  Call her at your own risk at 916-947-4479.  In the middle is Alicia Garcia-Green (916-477-9271) and Catreena Lusk (916-224-1946) also of The Body Shop products.

Star is selling her hand made fresh water pearl earrings.

These fresh water pearl earrings are being offered by Star.

The Neiders can be proud of their art work. They offer hand crafted items for both inside and outside of your home.

This is just a few of the many pieces of intricate hand crafted art work.  Call Neiders Metal Art at 209-748-2591.

Rich Hult and Ernie Giuespone provided live music.  Thanks

These five servers took good care of everyone all day long. Then they also proceeded to clean up afterwards.

(l. to r.) Alicia Villano, Samantha Hanchey, Andrea Hanchey, Rebecca Coker and Lauren Reuthinger were very hard working servers.  They took care of so many things and hardly had time to pose for this picture.  They all play softball and are going to the Triple Crown Girls World Series in Utah.  Events like this could not happen without such dedicated hard workers.

Magician Leeman Parker is entertaining guests at the Mother Daughter Tea at the Rae House Museum.

We had magicians.  This is Leeman Parker just after he tricked Aderian Hutson.  The magic club of Elk Grove was well represented with three members fooling any victim available.
