2019 event

Our theme for the Annual Awards Dinner was "Top Hats and Tiaras." Attire was requested to be black, white or both, but that was interpreted broadly. There was formal wear and whimsy -- and lots of top hats and tiaras! There were the mad hatter, a cowboy, and three actual pageant winners. The venue looked beautiful and a good time was had by all.
