For those who are watching awards in Nashville, what do you think of the cowboy hats? I felt bad for the girls last night who were being told sidestage to put them on, which would mean smashing them on top of their wigs and headpieces. Of course they don't fit, so they're left holding them awkwardly. Then once they get their awards they have to juggle the box, their certificate and the cowboy hat. -- New England Irish Dancers

[> [> Subject: It was obvious on FeisTV on the 4th that they were being told as they walked toward the stage to put the hats on their heads. Some tried, but all gave up. Only the boys and the adult competitors who don't wear wigs could manage it.

[> [> Subject: True. Watched the senior ladies struggling with them on Tuesday night. They look like hats you'd buy for a child's birthday party. Someone wasn't thinking when they ordered those!

[> [> [> Subject: My daughter got one and was thrilled. She and the other girls didn’t want to wear them for photos so they carried them. They also let all their friends try them on after, so it was cute!
