'Hats Off To Geneva' Fundraiser To Benefit City's History Museum

GENEVA, IL — A joint breakfast and presentation fundraiser will raise money to benefit the Geneva History Museum, organizers announced Tuesday.

The Little Traveler and St. Mark's Episcopal Church are partnering for the fundraiser, "Hats Off to Geneva," taking place April 13. The event will start with a 9 a.m. breakfast in the Atrium Cafe at the Little Traveler, 404 S. Third St.

From there, guests will walk to the church, at 320 Franklin St., where Geneva History Museum historian Terry Emma will discuss the gift shop's fashionable history. This portion of the event is set to start at 10 a.m.

During the fundraiser, customers who buy a dress from the Little Traveler will also receive extra fabric to have a matching hat made at a local hat shop, according to a news release.

Tickets are available for $30, which includes both the breakfast and presentation. If someone wants to go only to the presentation, tickets can be purchased for $20. Both ticket types come with a coupon, good for April 13, for $10 off a purchase of $20 or more.

All proceeds will be donated to the Geneva History Museum.
