“When members of the Red Hat Society get together, it’s like a massive tea party for women over 50.With every participant wearing a creative combination of red and purple from head to toe, it’s also a bit like a fashion show.
Around 200 Red Hatters from Illinois and surrounding states descended on Lake Storey Pavilion on Wednesday to celebrate National Red Hat Day with a luncheon and “shopping emporium” organized by the local Haw Creek Hatters and Merry Hearts.
“Shopping is the national sport of the Red Hat Society. Shopping and food,” said Peg Bivens, 53, of Knoxville, the “queen” of the Haw Creek Hatters.”
When we were in Florida over Christmas, we were browsing an outdoor shopping mall and you just couldn’t miss them. There were about a zillion “red hatters” and from the looks on their faces, having the time of their lives!
So, what if you want to join in the fun before you are fifty?? Well, these ladies are awfully nice and have no problem letting you in. BUT… you can’t wear their colors until you officially turn 50!
