HATtitudes of Huntersville, an official chapter of the Red Hat Society, held a high tea on the patio of Glen’s at Birkdale Commons on May 27. Christine Witherspoon and her daughter, under-50 pink hatter Dixie Ann McKinney, hosted the event and served tea, homemade scones with lemon curd, finger sandwiches, fruit and dessert.

The active chapter will send a few members to participate with hatters from around the world in the 2013 London New Year’s Day Parade.
