The Promenade Gardens will come alive on Saturday April 7, when the Inner Wheel Club of Georgetown hosts its annual Easter Hat Show and Garden Party. According to a press release from the club, the hat competition, now in its 31st year, is open to children and adults in two categories: elegant and topical/comical. Last year’s show had coincided with Earth Day and there was a special trophy for the best topical hat with an environmental theme. That is being repeated this year and the organisers are looking for more originality in hat design. Do-it-yourself enthusiasts are urged to get creative.
Registration for the competition is done on the day itself and contestants are required to arrive early to register from 2.30 pm. Registration closes at 3.30 pm, which is when the show begins, the release stated.
