Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Inner Wheel Club of Georgetown has cancelled its annual Hat Show and Garden Party, which was scheduled for April 18, 2020.
The annual hat contest is a fixture at the Promenade Gardens on the Saturday after Easter Monday. However, to mark its 35th Charter Anniversary (1985–2020), while at the same time adhering to public health guidelines, the club is instead inviting hat enthusiasts to take part in a Virtual Hat Show from the comfort of their homes.
Those persons interested in taking part are advised to simply use whatever is available in their homes to make a hat and participants are encouraged to recycle, be creative and have fun.
