I don't have any pictures ready for tonight's feature but I'll share a story about a hat. My Dad's hat.
Back in the real early 1950's I was maybe 2 years old. We the family went to the rodeo in Phillipsburg Kansas, which claimed to be the largest rodeo in Kansas. It probably was as it was a real nice rodeo for years. May still be.
Anyway, the weather was usually hot and humid when it was held. Dad had bought snow cones for everyone. We were sitting on the stands on the south end (remember this like it was yesterday) and Dad had taken his hat off and had it in his lap. My sno cone was a red one and I was standing on the runners of the stands and sorta tripped and spilled my sno cone into his hat.
Hats cost money and we didn't have a lot so this was a big deal. This hat was a straw hat but in the style of a business dress hat of the times. Well, Dad couldn't wear it cause it had a rather large permanent stain but he did keep it the rest of his life and Mom kept it hanging on the same hook on the enclosed porch for many years.
Just a story but it is oft remembered when I think about hats or caps.
