OLD FASHIONED HAT DISPLAY
At the 2014 Show we are holding a display of old fashioned hats and accessories.
If you have a favourite heirloom hat or one that tells a story of a special occasion
and would be prepared to contribute to our display, it would be very much appreciated. If you are able to date and add a short description including possible maker,
it would also add much interest. Accessories such as gloves, handbags and parasols would also be welcome
Your name should be clearly visible on the inside of the item, preferably in a
box and left at Glen Fabric Barn during the week prior to the Show and collected from Glen Fabric Barn following the Show.
For further enquiries phone Kae on 67344121 or Lorraine on 67336703
We assure you that the greatest care will be taken of your treasured item .
