The residents and staff at the Mennonite Memorial Home paid tribute this last week to the ever-stylish tradition of wearing hats. A nod was given towards the Royal Wedding and also to the upcoming Kentucky Derby, two events where hats are a must.
Many of the residents enjoyed picking out and modeling different types of hat, bonnets, caps and fedora's for each other. A short program was given talking about the traditions of hats. Staff also got into the spirit and sported hats throughout the day.
