My Fair
Hat Ladies, a tip of the hat goes off to all of you beautiful ladies (50 of
you) who joined in our very First (but definitely not last) PROMENADE. You
looked beautiful!!! The city of Williamsport should have turned out in droves
to see all of you. Next year, we will promote, promote, promote!!!! Maybe we
will have 75 or 100 ladies strolling through Ways Gardens. The Strawberry
Festival was wonderful & nary was a strawberry left uneaten. Thanks to all of
you who helped make this such a wonderful event.
I sent some pictures to the Sun-Gazette, so keep your eye out and save me one.

CROWNS, a wonderful musical about hats is coming back for a summer run in
Washington, D.C. @ The Kreeger Theater. Check it out on our links on our
website, www.hatladieslycoming.org. If anyone is interested in going down to
see it, we can get tickets together and make all the arrangements. Please let
me know if you are interested. It is a four hour trip and we could do it in one
day, going to a matinee. I plan to go to the matinee on August 8th @ 2pm. The
tickets (orchestra) are about $60. Let me know ASAP if you want to join me.
These hat queens of the south wear all kinds of hats, one that flirt, scold,
praise, show power & grieve woven into their soulful, spiritual, joyful music.
You will love it.
HAT CHAT: I could hear wonderful compliments along the route when we
were promenading. Memories of mothers, aunts and teachers and friends who used
to wear hats came to their bare heads. Everyone loved them! And didn't the men
look smashing? WOW! It was fun to see the granddaughters there too. I am
starting a Hat Lady in Training picture section on our Website. If you have any
pictures of your daughters, granddaughters, etc with hats on, please give me a
copy and I will include them.
A HAT FULL OF PRAYERS:
To Ellie Snauffer who is having knee surgery. We hope she will be well enough
to attend the next luncheon.
To Deb Muthler whose Mother is not well.
Hot Hatpennings:
There are so many wonderful events to wear your hats to and remember they keep
the sun off your beautiful faces!
AUGUST 14TH MEET & EAT: BULLFROG BREWERY
Don't forget to make your luncheon reservation. We are going to have a
