DUST off your best rags, or better yet, come along to the Scariff Fash- ion Show which takes place later this week. The show, which is a charity event, takes place on Friday evening in the Scariff Community College from 8pm.
“The show is a fundraiser for the playground and for the Harbour Fes- tival Family Fun Day. We have all local amateur models, and they will be modeling clothes from the spring/ summer 2008 collection from some fabulous shops in Killaloe, Scaruiff, Feakle and one from Shannon,” said one of the organiser’s, Joan Crotty.
“There 1s good craic to be had out of the show, especially with the local
models. We have around 450 tickets sold at this stage so I would say that people are really looking forward to ia
The show will include a wide va- riety of clothing and is sure to have something to meet everyone’s taste.
“We have one menswear shop, one children’s shop, one costume hire shop and the rest then are ladies bou- tiques, inlcuding one show boutique, ’ continued Joan.
“We even have one shop which includes organic clothing which is something a bit different.”
Work has already began on the Scariff playground and some of the money raised will go to that very worthy cause.
“A lot of events are being organ-
ised to fundraise for the playground and they have received some grant funding also, but there is still more than €50,000 to be collected for it,” continued Joan.
‘The rest of the money will go to- wards the Scariff Harbour Festival’s Family Fun Day. The festival takes place each year on the August Bank Holiday weekend. On the Saturday of the festival we like to organise this fun day for young people and ie Daee sony
“We have puppet shows, bouncy castles, slides and lots of other in- flatables. We try to keep the price as low as we possibly can for people. Last year we were able to give the children access to all of the enter- tainment and a Supermacs meal for
just €3 each. So the more money we raise the more things we will be able to organise for this great fun day for all the family.”
“There will be a superb raffle on the night with over 100 prizes on of- fer, with a value of over €3,500 in total. Prizes include a family week- end break, hampers, concert tickets, gift vouchers, bouquest of flowers, a designer handbag and jewellery, to name but a few.”
The fashion show takes place this Friday, April 11, at Scariff Commu- nity College. It begins at 8pm with a cheese and wine reception.
