American Girl Tea Party

Editor | October 26, 2012

Local American Girl fans were among the first in the country to see this year’s new line of American Girl fall and winter fashions during the sixth annual American Girl Fashion Show, Oct. 13 and 14 at the Seelbach Hilton Louisville. This year also marked the arrival of new American Girl historical doll Caroline Abbott, who is a 9-year-old girl growing up during the War of 1812 and becomes a true hero by giving of herself without expecting anything in return. The two days of tea parties benefitted Kosair Children’s Hospital through the Children’s Hospital Foundation. All proceeds benefit the neonatal intensive care unit at Kosair Children’s Hospital.
