Description
Image of Paul Wegman- Miss P embracing a person from the audience who won the auction for the bonnet that she created (Broadway themed) for the 1st Babes in Bonnets Easter charity fundraiser. This fundraiser, created by Carmella Marcella Garcia, became an annual event where people would build Bonnets and put them up for auction, with proceeds going to a local charity. Next to Miss P is Carmella Marcella Garcia.
Rusti Hurd comments that It is still done at the Parliament House but now goes to different charities. Darcel Stevens now carries the torch.
