See our Photos from Steeplechase -with Hats,Proposals and More

The 75th Iroquois Steeplechase brings our area together for a day of horse racing,hats,and to benefit the Monroe Carrell Jr. Children’s Hospital.

And to much surprise of the attendees,the weather was much cooler than it has been in year’s past. Experiencing a spring winter referred to as “cotton britches winter” we saw men comfortably wearing sport coats and more women opting to wear pants than sundresses.  But if they went with their original plan of a sundress,there were plenty of coats and sweaters.

Take a look at the hats we spotted at Steeplechase. Each year there is a hat contest held just before the fifth race. Winning hat this year was inspired by Prince called “Purple Rain.”

 

Sporting a hat for the occasion was Brett Eldredge who took some fan photos that were posted to Twitter.
