ABOUT THE EVENT

Gigi Pip teamed up with Summit DMC to bring a custom hat bar to Squatters Brew Pub in Salt Lake City for Next Era Energy's group event. Our Hattenders had the chance to outfit 190 guests with their very own cowboy hats.

For many attendees, this was their first time at a hat bar, and the excitement was obvious from the moment the line started forming. Our Hattenders walked each guest through brim shapes, crown styles, and personalization touches, turning a simple gift into a hands-on experience guests got to shape themselves. Watching first-timers try on their first cowboy hat and see their own style come together was a highlight for our whole team.

Beyond the hats, the setup gave guests a reason to gather, swap opinions, and cheer each other on as they found their fit. A pub full of strangers turned into a room of new conversations, with hat bars working as natural icebreakers throughout the night. Even with nearly 200 guests moving through the space, our team kept the process smooth and efficient, so the energy never dipped and every guest left with a hat made for them.

Thank you to Summit DMC and Next Era Energy for having us. Moments like this are exactly why we love bringing the hat bar experience to events of every size, and we can't wait to outfit the next 190 hat lovers in the making.
