The red hat society ladies love the Parisian Promenade and really seem to enjoy themselves strolling through the park. The above photo was taken last Sunday at the Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden event. The weather was just lovely, as were participants and attendees.
The Red Hat Society is a social organization that was founded in 1998 and is no longer just for women 50 and older, but open to women of all ages. According to Wikipedia, there are over 40,000 chapters of the Red Hat Society in over 30 countries. This social organization all stems from a statement written by Jenny Joseph, "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me" and an idea that came to Californian Sue Ellen Cooper. According to this Meetup website, Greensboro just may have a waiting list to become a Red Hat Society member! Wonder just how one detects an imposter....
