A “Uniquely Fashionable Fashion Show” will take place Thursday evening in Penticton, giving children the chance to feel like a superstar.
The event, put on by the DragonFly Pond Society, will be held at Penticton Lakeside Resort.
“A Uniquely Fashionable Fashion Show is an awareness and inclusion event,” said Stacey Amy, vice chair. “This event not only gives the participants a chance to shine but also gives families a chance to see their children highlighted and celebrated in an event.”
Most of the children strutting down the runway are part of the DragonFly Pond Society, which provides services for families with children 0 to 18 years of age who have complex care needs and/or disabilities and who live in the South Okanagan Similkameen.
“It also creates a great sense of awareness within the community to see what these young people are capable of,” Amy said.
The fashion show will include drinks and beverages, from 6 to 7 p.m., on Nov. 16. The youth will hit the runway starting at 7 p.m.
Tickets to the event are $20 per person and there will also be a silent auction, with items from local businesses.
