*** THIS EVENT HAS ENDED!!! ***

Greetings everyone! The Netlink of Eorzean Taverns is please to present the second annual Lalafell Tea Party. Unfortunately, because of Rowena's hectic schedule with the success of her business, we were not able to secure the location used in the previous year. However, the Black Rabbit Traders have kindly invited us to host the tea party at the Mih Khetto's Amphiteatre! The dress code for this year will be inspired by pastel colors, flowers and the season of Spring.

In additional to the new location, we will also be implementing something new this year called a "currency exchange". Our guests and patrons will need to exchange gil in order to participate in all the activities and games, as well as, to purchase items at the cafe and from our vendors at the tea party. The currency exchange pricing can be found in the details below.
