Perhaps one of the most vibrant traditions of the Devon Horse Show & Country Fair is the annual Ladies Day Hat Contest and Luncheon. It took place on Wednesday, May 29, 2024 and the theme was Parisian style. The ladies enjoyed time with friends, fizzy cocktails, fun music, and light fare and all were welcome to compete in the 2024 Hat Competition. After the contest, ladies lunched with fellow fashionistas at the Devon Club, and enjoyed an exclusive fashion show in collaboration with the Devon Horse Show Souvenirs featuring Cabana Life and Johnny O, and the chance to win one of three spectacular under-glass items. They included a Hermes Scarf, Veuve Clicquot gift set for two, or a Lagos Derby Bracelet. The Ladies Day event is a time-honored tradition that provides The Devon Horse Show & Country Fair the opportunity to strengthen their partnerships with local organizations and communities. A special thank you to Ladies Day sponsors including The Inn at Villanova, Barbara Brodsky’s Comprehensive Breast Cancer Center at Bryn Mawr Hospital, The Baldwin School, Fashion at the Races, and Volpe Enterprises, Inc.
