Anyone got any suggestions as to where they keep cowboy hats in the LQ?  My kids always seem to toss them on the counter, table, seat, etc and I would prefer to find a place that I could have them put them during shows.  A box isn't really practical as the hats are on and off several times a day.  I don't really have wall space to put them.  I am thinking about one of the spring loaded holders you use in a pickup attached to the roof over the camper door.

In some of the LQ I have seen the last couple years at the NFR, the Hat rack is directly above the door.  when ya think about it, it makes a lot of sense, that room isn't being used for anything else and its very convienent, first thing when ya come in and last thing before leavin' it's "Cowboy simple"

Sorry I could not stop myself....

We put ours on our head during shoots, shows, ropings or whatever event we are doing.  If they can't wear them while they are waiting for the next class they don't ride in the next class.

Not sure if you have ever tried to wear a hat under and english helmet, it doesn't work well.  Also kind of impractical to wear it in the bed when you are taking a little rest in between classes on a 90 degree afternoon, not to mention bad luck to put you hat on the bed.

Darn, guess I better stop wearing my boots in the bed too.....

I always wanted to die in bed with my boots on.

Boots are ok....just no hat on the bed.

Well you have a point there.  We no speaky english here......  Only WESTERN! 

I could not ride english if my life depended on it.  Plus 1200 to 1400lb quarter horses look really funny with english tack on them.

The spring loaded wire holders have a tendency to flaten your brim as they press them against the ceiling.

I prefer the wood ones that let the hat just hung.  They don't distort my brims as much.
