The outrageous opulence that characterizes old Hollywood glamour is coming to Del Mar in the form of the One and Only Truly Fabulous Hat Contest at 2008 Del Mar Racetrack Opening Day.
Now in its 14th year, the One and Only Truly Fabulous Hat Contest has become more popular than ever, so Ladies and Gents, the sky's the limit (literally), when it comes to creating or purchasing the hat of your dreams. Discover where to buy the best Opening Day hats in San Diego here.
Ornate, glamorous headpieces, outrageous horse-themed head wear, and fancy floral arrangements will all be entered into one of four different categories: Most Glamorous, Best Racing Theme, Funniest/Most Outrageous, and Best Flowers/All Others.
The winner of each takes home a cash prize that will help pay for those trips to the track-side bar and the signature margaritas we all love so much. If winning a measly cash prize doesn't soothe your horse betting losses, then go for the gold—the Bing Crosby Grand Prize is a Toshiba 42" LCD TV and DVR/VCR valued at $1,800, the perfect accessory to any prize-winning hat.
Hats from previous years have included a 3-foot tall floral and feather creation as well as a true-to-form replica of the Racetrack itself fastened as a hat, and a simply beautiful wide-brim yellow hat with classy black ribbon. July 16th, 2008 truly is a day to celebrate in Del Mar and with celebrities such as Uma Thurman, Junior Seau, Luke Wilson, Kevin Costner, and Jessica Simpson traveling to Del Mar in past years, looking your best at the track is an ultimate must.
