    Red Hat Country Western Jamboree

    Saturday, April 19, 2008, 07:24 PM [General]

     

     

     

    Today my chapter (minus Kim who couldn't join us) attended the Red Hat Country Western Jamboree held at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Columbia, Missouri.  The proceeds benefited Ellis Fischel Cancer Center and the event was sponsored by Red Hatters Judy Taut, Jordena Travis, Rosemary Bagby, Peggy Sue Flatt and Delores Harmon.

    It was our first official Red Hat gathering and we had a blast!  I had never seen so much red and purple in my life!!!  The ladies across the table from us were from the Scarlet O' Hale-R's from Hale, MO and they were wonderful!  Their pictures are in the slideshow. 

    Belle Jolie found a beautiful pink hat for $10.00 and a lovely charm bracelet with pink hats on it.  I was busy just carrying my stickhorse and taking photos.  I think my favorite part, aside from the ladies at our table, was the ladies (all over 70) who did line dancing!  They were just phenomenal!!

    All in all it was a wonderful day!!  I can't wait for our next Red Hat event!!!

    Hey GF,
    Love the new slide show of Alex's play. It looks like it was a wonderful show. That is a great background. How do you add a new backgrond that isn't on the layouts they offer on here?
    Take care, xoxo

    Welcome Back!!

    I enjoyed seeing Alex's photos from the play. And I love your new background ~~ such pretty colors.

    I'm enjoying my summer. Took a road trip with 2 of my daughters to visit a dear friend I hadn't seen in 15 years. It was a wonderful reunion. She lives on the western side of Indiana, right next to the Illinois border.

    Take care ~~

    Hello Queen Talena,

    Wonderful to hear from a neighboring Red Hat Sister.
