It�s time for another edition of Ask Art!, our series of questions submitted by readers. Today�s question comes from a desert museum director concerned about the effects of excessive exposure to sun light and heat.The Center for Disease Control recommends that you protect yourself thoroughly from ultra violet rays the major cause of skin cancer. They tell us that this is particularly true between the hours of 10 am and 4pm. The CDC suggests the wearing of wide brimmed hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses with a high UV rating.We applaud the humanitarian concerns of the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and their effort to protect their young visitors from heat stoke and the other harmful effects of excessive sun exposure.Without further ado; the question:The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, a non-profit, has many visitors in the summer who do not recognize the dangers of the summer sun to their children. We would like to find an inexpensive hat that we might give to young children. Suggested wholesalers?- FritzArt Answers:Fritz,Thanks for your question. I did some searching and found many companies offering excellent children�s sunhats but given that your organization wants to buy the hats in bulk and let children use them for free I�ve been searching for the best price possible.Normally I would say go to an bulk auction site such as liquidation.com and bid on a bulk shipment of sunhats but this requires more patience than you are willing to invest as I�m sure your duties at the museum involve more that hat buying.The best source I could come up with is suncatcherhats.com. They are wholesaler of straw sunhats with a kind of western look that might well suit your needs. They offer a perfect children�s hat at about 10 each. If you contacted them and explained your situation they might offer you a better price.Good luck.- Art MicklewraithI invite any hat distributors that believe they can offer Fritz a better arrangement to contact me and I will pass it along. Speaking of invitations, if you have a question for Art please send it along and we will try to post it and try to provide an answer.Art Mickelwraith is the author of the Wholesale Buyer’s Guide at TopTenWholesale.com.
