Event Details:

This annual gathering is one of our favorites of the year as we invite ALL doll collectors to enjoy an afternoon together supporting the museum and celebrating dolls, art, and culture.

This event is perfect for anyone passionate about dolls and doll collecting. All are welcome.

Imagine being in a room full of people who love dolls as much as you do…

You will enjoy a sit-down hearty lunch at a table full of fellow doll-lovers and collectors as you listen to engaging presentations on dolls and dollmaking. Make new dolly friends and enjoy and informative and joyful afternoon!

You’ll get free goodies and gift bags and have a chance to participate in a silent auction, raffle, and door prize drawings.

When the luncheon ends, you’ll have the chance to take a trip over to our doll & toy museum (optional) and continue socializing with the new friends you’ve met.
