Battle of Bonnets 2016

I want to thank Mary Lawson, Ron Decar's and everyone else involved for another wonderful event. I think the decision to have less attendees was a good decision, we had much more room. Even if I didn't win, I had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting so many Red Hatter's. If you have never been to this event Mark your calendar and go next year it is a blast!!  Our Hat was a joint effort by my chapter and we had a lot of fun designing and making, along with drinking some great wine! I am posting a lot of pictures and hope you enjoy our day as much as we did. We celebrated our 18th Red Hat Birthday in Style.

I hope you enjoyed a few moments of a wonderful time my chapter and I spent. Also Regina won 2-3 prizes, I just can't remember today. I won $80.00 from the 50/50 drawing. Sorry no pictures of me winning, we were being rushed out. I was so excited when my number was called, I just took the money and thanked everyone. I also want to thank Gaylynne for taking over 40 pictures.
