19 weeks left to go until the grand opening of the Chicago Steampunk Exposition . . . anyone feeling like a spot of tea?

There are two High Teas scheduled for the Exposition, one on Saturday afternoon, and one on Sunday afternoon that will include a variety of teas such as English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Assam, and Darjeeling, along with British scones with jam and clotted cream, cucumber sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, petit fours, mini eclairs, lemon tartlets, and a cup of fruit.

Additionally there will be the Burnham Banquet on Saturday evening, and the Taste of Chicago dinner on Friday evening; details of the menu coming soon.
