SummeRay Wine Bar transformed into a lively cauldron of magic and mischief during this year’s Witch Hat Night, hosted by Women With Willpower. Women in extravagant, spooky creations and delightfully quirky hats filled the space, their laughter and excitement bubbling like a witch’s brew. The air was electric with camaraderie, wine glasses clinking, and a sense of shared purpose that transcended the fun and fashion of the evening.
But beneath the playful exterior, there was a deeper mission at work. This wasn’t just a night to show off creative headwear—it was a gathering with heart, dedicated to raising funds for women in Lake Havasu City who’ve reached their last resort. When speaking with Sherri Ashford, president of Women With Willpower, she proudly shared that the organization had already raised $40,000 this year—funds that will directly support local women in need. It was clear from the generosity and joy in the room that this night wasn’t just about having fun; it was about making a real difference in the lives of others.
One of the standout moments of the night was the Best Hat contest, where winner Faye Reid stole the show with her utterly unique, handcrafted creation. But here’s the fun part: Faye was literally crocheting her hat right up until the judging—wine glass in hand, laughing, and chatting with other women while her fingers worked their magic. It wasn’t just a hat; it was a live performance of artistry and multitasking! When the crowd erupted in cheers for her, it was clear she had won the hearts of everyone in the room. Faye, in disbelief, shared that it was the first time she had ever won a contest, and her joy was contagious. To top it off, several women even inquired about buying some of her quilted designs—highlighting the powerful networking opportunities these events create for women.
Another heartwarming moment came when a raffle prize winner, inspired by the spirit of the night, decided to donate her prize right back to Women With Willpower. It was a beautiful gesture of kindness that highlighted the true meaning of the evening: women supporting women in every way possible.As the night wrapped up, the excitement shifted to A Season to Sparkle, the 15th annual holiday celebration hosted by Women With Willpower that is coming up on December 1st. This semi-formal event, formerly known as O’Christmas Tree, promises to be another enchanting
