Volunteer models strutted their stuff on the weekend, for a fun fashion show in support of the Lloydminster Interval Home Society.

On Saturday, many people took part in Fashion Show- Lloyd Style Downtown, which was held at the Royal Canadian Legion #39 and showcased fashions from many local businesses.

“This event is unique that we are promoting downtown revitalization, we are promoting locally-owned businesses, we are supporting the Legion, and of course the Interval Home,” said organizer Dawn Hames.

The clothes came from Giant Tiger, A Girls Closet, Mommy Chic, Dawn Interiors, Amy Smart and Era Apparel, the Interval Store and more.

Hairstyles were also done by Kat Salon, It’s All About You, Chateau Hair Design, Oceana and the Lakeland College School of Hairdressing.

They decided the funds would go towards the Interval Home because it seemed like a fitting organization.

“Previously, the downtown businesses have worked together to support the children’s breakfast program and the food bank, so we picked a different cause,” she said.

The fashion show also coincided with Family Violence Prevention Month, which was declared in Lloydminster for the month of November.

“It ties in so well,” said Leanne Wildeman, community education, and engagement, Interval Home.

“Family Violence Prevention Month is a big deal to our organization, and we really do try to promote the best way that we can, and to have something like this that really ties in with it is just spectacular.”

Wildeman also noted it was an honour for the Interval Home to be chosen to receive the funds.

“It’s very exciting,” she said. “It’s really an honour as an organization like the Lloydminster Interval Home to be recognized by a fantastic group of ladies that are wanting to put this on, and a great partnership, so we are really excited to be here.”

The money raised will go towards various programs.

“That programming reaches a large demographic, whether it’s our women’s outreach program, which is a popular program that women are utilizing daily, so that provides information and awareness to those that need it most,” said Wildeman.

It was a wonderful turnout for the weekend event, which not only raised funds for the Interval Home but was also able to showcase different businesses downtown.

“I think it’s really important for people to support people, and we have a wonderful community in Lloyd, and they always show up and they always support,” said Hames.Read more at:http://www.marieprom.co.uk/evening-dresses-uk | http://www.marieprom.co.uk/prom-dress-uk
