-ACY S FASHIONS TO BEDAZZLE 3UGAR 0LUM ATTENDEES It’s not every day that you get to see a real, live fashion show. The 9th annual Sugar Plum Market, presented by Fort Bend Junior Service League and Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, will feature three fashion shows in two days with almost 100
models. The “A Magical Holiday� themed event will be held on Friday, November 6th from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday, November 7th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Stafford Centre Performing Arts Theatre and Convention Center.
This year, Macy’s will provide all the clothes and accessories for the two luncheon fashion shows. The Sugar Plum Market has become a Fort Bend County holiday tradition. Featuring a fashion show and luncheon each day, a highly entertaining Friday evening fashion show and dinner, over 85 vendors, an elaborate raffle and more, you do not want to miss out on this “magical� event. Fashion show tickets are $65 each and include entrance
to the market for shopping on both days. General admission tickets are $10. Proceeds from this year’s market will benefit Child Advocates of Fort Bend, Fort Bend Community Partners Rainbow Room, Fort Bend County Women’s Center, Literacy Council of Fort Bend County, and FBJSL’s Community Assistance Fund.
