WHY?
Today’s event is held in honor of the late Mrs. Elisabeth “Pansy” Ireland Poe, the last mistress of Pebble Hill Plantation. Miss Pansy was an avid and accomplished polo player and was a pioneer for other women in the sport. Your support of this event will benefit the Pebble Hill Preservation Fund, which helps preserve and maintain Pebble Hill’s 3,000 acres, 100 structures, and animals. We are thankful for your support. The Pebble Hill Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit.
What should I wear?
You may come in your Sunday best or dress more casually to suit the weather and your comfort. Hats are encouraged and we will have a hat contest at halftime with prizes. If it is sunny, a hat will be a good idea and they make a terrific fashion statement for the event. Feel free to be as conservative or creative with your hat as you would like. We would love to see some fun and colorful hats. Footware should be comfortable and be mindful that you will be walking on grass, dirt, and gravel surfaces and you definitely want to wear shoes suitable for all of the fun of the halftime divot stomp!
