Since then, she has acquired more than 1300 hats and headdresses from over 150 countries and many more ethnic groups. This event is free and open to the public. Pamela Najdowski, Santa Fe NM, will tell us more about the CHinese children's hats from Suzanne Sugg's collection, also on display in the exhibit.
