Brooklyn judges rule on best Easter Sunday hats
The bonnets were back for Easter Sunday, thanks to New York state Sen. Roxanne Persaud, who invited four Brooklyn judges to her inaugural Easter Luncheon and Hat Contest that was held at the Vandalia Senior Center in East New York on Thursday.
“I always tell everyone that if they want to see the best Easter bonnets, they have to come to my district,” Persaud said. “Everyone came out and [looked] great, whether [in] homemade hats or hats purchased for a lot of money at Bloomingdales.”
Hon. Sylvia G. Ash, Hon. Genine Edwards, Hon. Robin Sheares and Hon. Harriet Thompson watched as contestants from seven different senior centers across Brooklyn competed for prizes and bragging rights.
