About the event
The leaves should be lovely in early November and it will still hopefully not be too chilly. Bring hot beverages and blankets for warmth if needed along with treats to share if you wish. I will try to bring a pop up table.
I am thinking 1900-1930’s style clothing would work well, though don’t want to limit anyone with something fabulous to wear outside of that! The overall costume theme is historic autumn looks in tweeds, wools, plaid, etc.
I will post some inspo photos (a lot are historic hunting photos/artwork for the vibes only, please do not bring weapons to a public park of course!)
The Hellgate Bridge was proposed in 1900, designed in 1907 and constructed from 1912-1916 so clothing from slightly different time periods should look great with it in photos! It’s a beautiful piece of architecture if you haven’t seen it yet.
