Lorraine Allen (from left), Mabel Geiger and Jo Benson debate which treats look the best while Wanda Harris does her best to serve the guests. Several of the guests and organizers made or decorated their own hats for the event, held at Aspen Arms, a retirement home and assisted living facility in Cloquet.
