HEADWEAR ASSOCIATION MEMBERS CELEBRATE THE GOOD LIFE

If you missed this years’ annual headwear dinner at Tavern on the Green you missed a wonderful evening. There were lots of laughs, good vibes and terrific food. Did I tell you that prolific writer and hat historian Neil Steinberg (author of Hatless Jack and columnist for the Chicago Sun Times) spoke? We missed many of you at this great event, and hope that next year you will celebrate life, love and commerce with us. Although this group has been meeting for the past 98 years (it’s one of the oldest associations in existence) there is always room for new members. Come on headwear people – get on board.
