The much anticipated Rock Creek fire relief benefit fashion show took centre stage in Greenwood on Saturday afternoon, and was a resounding success in every way imagineable. Chief organizers Cindy Fairs of Habitat for Humanity’s Southeast BC affiliate (HFHSEBC) and Heather Smith, proprietor of Greenwood’s iconic Yellow Door Boutique, worked for several weeks to plan and coordinate the event as a way to help rebuild a Westbridge family’s home lost to the Aug. 13 wildfire that destroyed more than 30 structures along the Rock Creek/Westrbridge corridor. Greenwood’s McArthur Centre was filled to capacity with over 200 people looking to make a donation to the rebuilding effort while enjoying the efforts of local clothing designers and retailers during what was a very polished yet light-hearted fashion presentation. Fashions were provided by Xenja Wear, Pharmasave, The Yellow Door and Chain Reaction and included smart casual and sportswear, worn by a roster of volunteer models ranging in ages from early 20s to 70s. The benefit also featured a silent auction, which saw the sale of hundreds of donated items ranging from hotel stays to fancy cheese baskets, contribute a sizeable chunk of the nearly $10,000 collected during the afternoon. All funds collected will go directly toward the construction of Dale and J.D. Winn’s Westbridge home. Fairs was thrilled with the event’s success and could not say enough about all of the volunteers who contributed so
More than 200 people crowded into Greenwood’s McArthur Centre last Saturday to enjoy a spectacular afternoon of music, fashion and fun. (Left) models of all ages donned some beautiful fashions during the afternoon’s runway presentation. (Right) Local music icon Peri Best and her entourage opened the entertainment with a moving violin performance by Vivien Browne and, right, a cheeky operatic piece by Best herself.
