Last Tuesday, the Stanthorpe Red Hat Society celebrated its 10th birthday at the Central Hotel.
Stanthorpe queen Pamela Mathers said 48 people from Stanthorpe, Warwick, Sunnybank Hills, and Clifton red hatter groups attended the event.
“It’s our biggest ever event,” Pamela said.
“We had cake, raffles, a quiz, and photos of memories from the past.
“We also handed out Stanthorpe-grown apples and local soaps from Anna’s Candles to our visitors.”
Despite the large turn out, Pamela said originally 52 people were expected, but some were unable to come due to different reasons.
The Red Hat Society is an international organisation that was first founded in 1998 in the US.
“We’re a social activity group for women over 50 who come together once a month for fun and friendship,” Pamela said.
“It’s wonderful for your mental health and to have fun.”
She said anyone interested in joining is welcome to reach out to the group.
