For many, there isn’t a better way to start the New Year than taking an up close look at all the latest fashion apparel, handbags, jewelry and accessories for the season. Add in some lovely models, some delicious food and a lot of fun and you’ve got the PebbleCreek 2015 Style Show!
This January 29, more than 225 PebbleCreek fashionistas gathered in the Tuscany Falls Ballroom to shop, eat and best of all watch a runway show filled with 12 of our very own PebbleCreek models showing off the latest fashions brought to the event by CalleRose Fashion Boutiques.
After several hours of fittings and finding just the right outfits, the 12 lovely ladies each modeled three different outfits throughout the hour long show that featured musical accompaniment by talented pianist Joan Martin. Each model was led to the stage by dapper and well-dressed escorts, Bruce Ehret and Mike D’Onofrio, who no doubt enjoyed the scenery!
After a delicious lunch and the runway show itself, attendees were assisted by event hostesses Lynn Henderson, Debbie Frangella and July Roseberry who graciously led shoppers through the CalleRose shops as they sought out fashions and accessories just seen from the runway. The event also featured a 50/50 raffle that raised more than $600 with the assistance of raffle volunteers John Cacciola, Twila Moody and Paulette Stone.
In addition to the 50/50 raffle money raised, a portion of ticket sales and 10% of all items sold by CalleRose will be given to Homeless Youth Connection, a local charitable organization who assist young people in need.
Special thanks to all the lovely models: Joanne Benz, MJ Fenoglio, Betsy Ciampa, Bette Fuhrmann, Sandi Nielson, Barb Bruce, Alla Langston, Kathy Luders, Patti Halbmaier, Nancy Radice, Carol Jarvis and Denise DiPietro and to Patti Wegehaupt from the Activities office for coordinating this wonderful event.
