It's that time of year again!

Last week, December 7, 2011, the MadHatters were proud to be invited to sing at a White House holiday party for guests of the President & First Lady. Welcoming guests as they came in, they sang some of their holiday songs from their 2010 release Cheer On Tap. After an hour of performing, they met the president, hugged the first lady, took a picture together, and sang a minute of "White Christmas" for them. It was truly an amazing day, all starting with a visit with Rep. Tammy Baldwin and a tour of the Capitol from her staff. Thanks to all who made this trip possible, and all who have supported the MadHatters throughout their 15-year history.
