Greenwood’s McArthur Cen tre promises to be awash with glitter and grace this Saturday, when Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC partners with Yel low Door Boutique proprietor Heather Smith to present a Rock Creek fire relief extravaganza. The brainchild of Smith and Habitat’s Cindy Fairs, the ben efit will include a silent auction, as well as a Parisian-style fash ion show.

Winn, who lost everything to the fire. “Unlike the traditional stan dard of selecting a family based on a screening criteria and then holding the mortgage for fami lies that it supports, Habitat will be raising funds to rebuild on land already owned by the homeowner,” Fairs said. As for the actual event, Fairs added, “We have secured some lovely silent auction items, in cluding a one-night stay at the Coast Capri in Kelowna with breakfast for two, and possibly two more hotels with similar • See FASHION SHOW page 16
