Preservation of the Architectural Kind

I know I'm kind of harping on this, but seriously, Thomasville Landmarks' Derby Party is going to be tons of fun, and it's their only fundraiser of the year! 
If you can't make it to the Derby Party on Saturday, they'd love to see you at the Hat Party on Thursday (at Joolz, downtown), or one of the Wine Classes (Friday + Saturday).

Joolz has posted a sneak peek of some of the hats for the hat party - click on over and ogle away!
