# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Hat Bar and Honey Bar Event at DeSoto House Hotel
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Gather your friends and family for a one-of-a-kind experience at Dry Creek Beekeeping's Hat Bar & Honey Bar Event in the beautiful Parker Room at the DeSoto House Hotel in Galena!

Create Your Custom Hat: Choose from Western, Fedora, Trucker, or Flat-Brimmed hats and try your hand at burning a gorgeous bee and sunflower design onto your hat using specialized tools. Your hat will be pre-stenciled with a custom-made bee and sunflower design, so you can easily burn in the design with the help from expert instructor, Marie McDonough from Marie’s Wood Carvings. Plus, you’ll add your personal touch by choosing a hat band, feathers, and other accessories to make your hat truly unique! Guys- don't worry- there are options for you too! (Attendees can work directly with Marie prior to the event to select their hat and design- there are many more options to choose from if sunflowers and bees are not for you, or you can free-hand your own design if you prefer.)

Honey Bar Tasting: Sip, savor, and sample up to 20 varieties of delicious honey from around the world! Learn about the distinct flavor notes of each variety and discover where they come from. Once you've found your favorite, you can purchase your top picks to take home. Leave with new-found knowledge and appreciation for bees and honey! 

All-Inclusive Fun: Your registration fee of $80 covers everything: instruction, tools, hat, band, accessories, and an informative and fun honey tasting of 20 honeys from around the world. By the end of the event, you’ll be rocking a stylish, custom-burned hat that’s all your own—and you’ll be buzzing about your honey finds!

Optional Add-ons: Food and drinks are available to purchase through the DeSoto House Hotel.  Maybe you'd like to order a charcuterie board or try a glass of honey mead wine as you enjoy this workshop.

Children ages 8+ are welcome.  The felt burning of the hat requires the use of a hot tool, so we encourage you to consider this when booking for children. 

Don't miss out on this creative and sweet event! Space is limited and this event will sell out—reserve your spot in advance at www.DryCreekBeekeeping.com.
