Hug A Vet Day!

What a wonderful final performance for Fall!
Hats & Taps performed for Roseville Commons on November 11th.
We had an audience and Veterans Day to remember!
Red poppies were handed out which we proudly wore. 
 One of Carol's (many) signature routines is her 
Tribute to the Armed Forces.
Pictures above and below from previous times. 
 The Tribute is an audience favorite as well as one of ours!
We save it for our last number. 
Our first set of three cowboy numbers went well. 
We were missing a couple of our cowgirls though.
Here with Ruth who entertained the troops while we changed.
We enjoy changing up our costumes and especially for our military numbers. Pictures are from previous performances as we were not able to capture any pictures during our show this day.
 It means much to us to pay tribute with Carol's Tribute,
to the incredible service all our armed forces have given us!  An audience participant prompted us to "give those guys hugs", not that we needed much prodding. There were 3 WWII vets in the audience behind us and some from other wars. We were more than happy to comply and those hugs and this experience will remain very special in our hearts!
 We cannot thank Roseville Commons and the audience enough!
Full circle and time to get ready for Christmas cheer! A frost in the air and nervous reindeer, we now get ready for our winter wonderland and the end of this year!
