Coming to the Founders Day Southern Supper - Why Not Wear a Hat?


If you're coming to the Southern Supper on Saturday night, and  want to get in the mood of the early days when Punta Gorda was coming into being, you might want to create a hat from the era. All you would need is a straw or other wide brim hat  that you can adorn with some artificial flowers (there are plenty of Christmas adornments around) and add a bow or two.  Just a suggestion!  Here are some samples of hats from the era.


And while it was a frontier town if you look at the early pictures the women did wear fancy hats and dress was rather formal. Check out boating picture below - the men as well.
