Elaine Faith Thompson received an award for her Easter bonnet that she made, and entered in the spring bonnet contest in Sayville’s Springfest. She is known for ALWAYS wearing a hat, mainly for the following reasons: hats protect from the sun’s harmful UV rays that cause skin cancer, they keep you 15 degrees cooler in the summer and keep your entire body warmer in the winter, hats prevent wrinkles because the sun dries your skin out, hats keep harmful rays out of the eyes and help with driving at sundown and sunrise when the sun visor is not enough to block the sun’s blinding light - preventing accidents, and most importantly, hats are very fashionable when completing your ensemble. Being a natural redhead, Thompson says “ The SMART thing to do, is to always wear a hat especially to protect from skin cancer.”
