The Big Event IV was held on August 7, 8 and 9 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Jacksonville, Fl. It was put on by Chichi Banks and the Red Hat Grits Chapter of the Red Hat Society. I am only aware of three Treasure Coast Chapters that attended - Classic Crimson Cruisers, Purple Passions of Hutchinson Island and the Lucie Goosies.

We made a lot of new friends!

Below are some pictures that were taken over the 3 days to show you how much fun can be had when lots of Red Hatters get together. Big Event V is scheduled for August 7, 2010 in St. Augustine. It will only be a one day event.
