The Strawberry Tarts were the winners in the non-commercial  category in the Rotary Canada Day Parade. Here they are receiving their plaque. 

The Red Hat Society is the largest social organization in the world.  Its members are women “of a certain age” who seek  fun, friendship and freedom from society’s expectations of older  women.  Members wear red hats and purple  clothes when on an outing, and spread good will wherever they go.
