(ORLEANS) - The First Annual Christmas on the Square Hat Walk, sponsored by the Orleans Public Library is December 9th.
The event is open to all ages.
Each participant must wear a hat of original designs with a Christmas theme - either purchased, borrowed or designed. And each hat must be appropriate for all ages.
