Hot Springs is known for being a little off-kilter when it comes to their community get-togethers and festivals (witness their annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade). This time next year, they’ll have another weird feather in their… um, cap: the first annual Hats in Hot Springs Festival, scheduled for June 1-2, 2012 in Hill Wheatley Plaza on Central Ave. Admission is free. In short, it’ll be a celebration of chapeaux of all shapes and sizes.

Planning is just getting started, but we can imagine it will include games, music, vendors, carnival-style eats and lots of outrageous headgear. Ladies and gentlemen, start warming up your glue guns. You’ve got a little less than a year to wow us.
