O
ne of the most colorful events of St. Louis’ social
calendar, the Forest Park Hat Luncheon, lived up to
its name at this year’s gathering at the World’s Fair
Pavilion. A signature highlight is the popular hat
contest, which recognized winners in categories such
as Vintage, Whimsical and Dapper Dudes. The luncheon is the single-
largest fundraiser to support Forest Park Forever and its efforts to restore,
maintain and sustain the urban park. Vanessa Cooksey and Carolyn Farrell
served as this year’s co-chairs.
