The 9th annual Mission Valley Hat Party was a smashing success.
More than 650 guests attended an all-night affair of food, friends,
and fabulous hats.

The night was filled with fantastic music. On the line-up was
Jerry Clemens, who entertained through the dinner hour.
Rob Quist and daughter Halliday next played a solid
set of western Rock.

Cabin Fever, a Mission Valley band, brought down the house
with rock and blues.

At the campfire, bluegrass musicians played well into the morning. Most hailed from the Missoula band Little Smokies. About 150 attendees camped, and a few slept next to the campfire so that they could keep listening to the bluegrass musicians.

The 10th Annual Hat Party will take place next year on
Saturday, September 11th.
Start planning your 2010 hat!
