"Where'd Ya Get a Hat Like That?" Beach Party

Decorate Your Hat, Win a Prize

Hey miss, let me ask you this
Where'd you get a hat like that
If I told you why, would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that

Event Wrap-up:
What great weather, after all. The forecasted thunderstorms never arrived. At one point, some pretty dark clouds peeked over the trees, but they decided not to mess with us. Instead, sunburn was rampant.
We had hot dogs, links, sausages and kraut, two kinds of keg beer, sodas and cold bottled water.
Just over 20 boats rafted-up well offshore (some thought this was a record number for Ray Hubbard). It was a long swim from the raft-up to the kegs, and I think most opted to just drink whatever they had on board - beer, mouthwash, cologne. Others anchored close-in or beached. This made the partiers more dispersed than previous years. (At next month's beach party, we'll focus on getting the rafted boats, and everyone else, closer in.)

Later in the afternoon, we gave away a bottle of Capt. Morgan and of Two Fingers tequila, the prizes for best decorated hats, to Mark and Vance. Somehow, the bottles quickly wound up in the ladies hands:

Thanks to all of you who entertained us with your hats. Our special thanks to Don Riggs, for providing all our ice, and to Alan and Debbie Lyon, for logistical support. Also, thanks to Weekends Restaurant, for letting us store our kegs and meat in their coolers on the eve of the party. It saves us a lot of ice and icing-down time, when the kegs are already cold.
