Diamond Rio Presented with the Prestigious White Hat

During a recent tour stop in Calgary, Alberta the band received an official accolade and was presented with the prestigious white hat honor bestowed on visiting visiting musicians, actors, dignitaries, heads of state, prime ministers, presidents, and royalty since 1948. The White Hat is a symbol of friendship and western hospitality on behalf of the City of Calgary and The Calgary Stampede. It is an honor bestowed upon our visiting guests and dignitaries as a token of their experience in Calgary. Recent notable recipients include: the Dalai Lama, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate), former U.S. presidents: Clinton and Bush, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and the Rolling Stones.
