FOLEY - Despite the rain falling outside on Wednesday, May 5, the Foley Woman’s Club’s 15th Annual Mad Hatters’ Event was a shining success. People came out dressed in their most fashionable, creative, and wackiest costumes to support local nonprofits during the club’s largest fundraiser of the year. The theme was World of Books 2.0, with table decorations depicting the club members’ favorite books.
The event kicked off with the highly anticipated Hat Parade, where attendees paraded around the auditorium to show off their finest hats. The parade was led by Event MC Tanya Blair. The parade also allowed the opportunity for the three judges to evaluate each hat for the event finale - the hat contest.
