Bethlehem Housing and Support Services. <\/a><\/p>\nThe April 19 event is at 7.30 p.m. at the Black Sea Hall, 455 Welland Ave., St. Catharines. Tickets are $25.<\/p>\n
Bethlehem, in partnership with the community, provides affordable housing and services to support the personal growth of individuals and families.<\/p>\n
“If you enjoy shopping, music and fashion, then this is the event for you,” enthused Sandra Lethby, show co-chair.<\/p>\n
The funds raised from the show will help Bethlehem Housing help people facing issues of poverty, abuse, homelessness and family breakdown to rebuild their lives through in-house and community supports.<\/p>\n
Hutchings, Brock’s Vice-President, Finance and Administration, began modelling for the show eight years ago when a volunteer, Grace-Ann Cambray, was looking for a young family with young children.<\/p>\n
“This is the only modelling that I perform,” Hutchings said.<\/p>\n
“Old football players are not that photogenic and clothes are difficult to fit,” the former Canadian Football League player added.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, he will be working it in swimwear, outdoor wear and formal attire.<\/p>\n
Brooks, academic integrity officer at Brock, will be appearing in his fourth Fashion in Bloom show. He got involved when a modelling friend asked him to volunteer some time to the event.<\/p>\n
“In a past life, I worked for several major retailers and have co-ordinated and hosted fashion shows,” he said. ” I have modelled everything from swimwear to men’s fur coats.”<\/p>\n
This time around, Brooks will be showcasing outfits from Mark’s Work Wearhouse, Outdoors Oriented and Sun Chasers.<\/p>\n
Other fashions in the show come from the racks at The Bay, Gypsy Alley, Once Upon a Child, Bobbi Sandham and Verity.<\/p>\n
New this year is a Vendors’ Corner, which will feature merchandise from Vintage Vogue, Silpada, Scentsy and Gwen’s Teas.<\/p>\n
There will be a cash bar, door prizes, raffles and refreshments.<\/p>\n
