Tea with Betty, a 30 minute documentary produced by Jim Nelson of Grande Prairie Alberta, A visit with a pioneer artist.

"Euphemia (Betty) McNaught takes the viewer on a personal visit to the original McNaught homestead.  She introduces her horses. takes us down to the lake and the campsite in the pines and, of course, caps it all off with tea.

The conversation ranges from her memories of being left behind by the wagon train with which she came over the Edson Trail, to her personal relationships with several members of the famous Group of Seven under whom she studied at the Ontario College of Art.  Does she have any regrets?  Find out, as you enjoy watching Tea with Betty at home with the rest of the family."
