A few tickets remain for Roane State Foundation’s Upstairs/Downstairs High Tea on Saturday. Proceeds will be used for student scholarships.

The fundraiser is inspired by the hit show “Downton Abbey.” It starts at 2 p.m. Saturday, January 24, at the Whitestone Country Inn in Kingston.

Roane State Foundation board member Mary Ann Reeves helped collect the auction items, and the Foundation invites you to enjoy a traditional tea and bid on your favorite goodies.

A limited number of tickets ($50 for individuals, $75 for couples) remain. To order tickets, contact the Roane State Foundation at (865) 882-4507 or foundationdept@roanestate.edu.
