With less than a month to go, 2025 Mad Hatter’s Chair Sara Friedman and Women’s Council for the Arboretum President Therese Rourk just gathered the maddest of the Hatter crowd at NorthPark’s ME+EM for the announcement of the 2025 Mad Hatter’s Luncheon judges and categories.
With the crowds filling NorthPark to check out the 2025 Fleurs de Villes Artiste cellphone candy, Mad Hatter guests learned that the judging types would include last year’s judges Esé Azenabor and KameronWestcott, Sharon Lee Clark, John Clutts, Amanda Shufeldt and Anne Stodghill.
This crew of judging types will be eyeballing guests for the winners of the following categories syncing with this year’s theme of – Celebrating Spring In The South:
- Dallas Blooms (best use of fresh botanicals)
- Kentucky Derby (most elegant)
- Mardi Gras (most over-the-top, outrageous creation)
- Jazz Fest (best group)
- The Masters (best in show)
- Round Top (people’s choice)
So, get those chapeau designers locked down and those glue guns warmed up for the flirtatious and scene-stealing looks that will be on the scene at the Dallas Arboretum for the Women’s Council of the Dallas Arboretum’s fundraiser.
It’s taking place on Thursday, April 17, at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden with glamor-ama fashions provided by NorthPark merchants and produced by Jan Strimple.
