Prior to the start of the Christmas program, there were six vendors for one of our favorite pastimes - SHOPPING! Vendors were: Alma Bennet, Shirley Doney, Ann McCormick, Tanya Killibrew, Cynthia Willis, Marvin Serota and Boudrot's Custom Photographers.

Our Mistress of Ceremonies was Shirley Doney, Queen of Friends to the End of Fort Pierce.

Jean Jane Althoff read "Twas the Night Before Christmas at Rock-Away Rest". It was absolutely hilarious!

Favors consisted of Red and Purple Spoons filled with Hershey Kisses and wrapped in Red Cellophane and tied with a purple ribbon. Also everyone received a Red Hat Christmas Ornament.

There was a HUGE Lunch Buffet which consisted of: Tossed Salad, Pasta Salad, Macedoine of Fresh Vegetables, Roast Sirloin of Beef Au Jus, Roast Turkey with Stuffing and Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, New Potatoes with Parsley Butter, Green Beans with Almonds, French Bread & Butter, Cheesecake or Chocolate Mousse.

We had a Centerpiece Contest. It was based on "Red Hat Holiday Theme". The winner of the Centerpiece Contest was the Sassy Lassies of Vero Beach. 2nd place winner was the Lucie Belles. Third place winners were the Lucie Goosies.

Santa (Patrick Gordon) and his elves ( Ralph Balzano and ) handed out Christmas presents to all the Red Hat Ladies. They were also our entertainment for this event - as "The Three Tenors".
