Karen Duquette dressed for special occasions
and entered two annual costume contests
in 2018

heartsHappy Valentine's Day

February 14, 2018 - Karen Duquette ready to go to a daytime dance and Valentine's Party (no costume contest, just fun)

After the party, the two RV Gypsies went to a friend's house for dinner. Barbara and Bob Stern.

St. Patrick's Day Costume Contest at Flanigan's- Karen Duquette won first prize again, and spent all night posing for pictures. Lots of people who did not even know her wanted to take a photograph of her. Karen's family walked right by her several times before they realized it was her. She had green shamrocks all around the bottom of the hat and they lit up and blinked green. The pot of gold that she carried also had a green light on it. Karen's family and friends also joined her at Flanigan's for dinner and drinks. Channel 7 was filming and Flanigan's manager made sure that Karen was in front of the camera. But the two RV Gypsies never saw the event on TV.

Karen Duquette has won each year starting in 2010 through this year, 2018. Previous costumes are shown below. This will be the last time that Karen enters a Flanigan's costume contest because the two RV Gypsies are moving their home base from Florida to South Carolina soon. BooHoo!

Happy Easter

The Easter Bonnet criteria was "most unique, most creative". Everyone at the party said Karen Duquette should win first place. But for the first time ever, she only took second place. Judge for yourself when you see the 1st and second place bonnets below.

First place winner - IS this really more CREATIVE AND UNIQUE than the one below it ????? Most of the people actually "booed" when this bonnet took first place.
