Fashion in the Frontenacs

Judy Kennedy | Jun 29, 2016

The Kennebec Hall in Arden was the fashion center of Frontenac County last Saturday night, June 25, as a sell- out crowd came out to see local children, teens and adults strut their stuff on the runway.

The hall was decorated in formal black and white with a red carpet running down the middle of the hall.

Theresa Hooiveld of Horseshoe Lake was the chair of the show, and she sourced fashions from the Bay in Kingston, and Sand and Sea in Napanee.

The clothing ranged from casual, school wear, cruise wear, active wear, wedding, BBQ, lounge wear, graduation, western wear, children's birthday party and travel wear. Mary Kay cosmetics donated their time and products and The Bay provided perfume and men's cologne samples. Both clothing suppliers provided discount coupons for all members of the audience.

Although all the models carried themselves with the elegance befitting such an event, four-year-old Noah and seven-year-old Angie stole the show when they walked down the carpet to “Happy Birthday”. Guests all had a wonderful time, with many taking home door prizes or some of the table decorations.

The entire extravaganza was sponsored by the Kennebec Recreation Committee and raised money for sports equipment for local kids.

Models at Fashion in the Frontenacs included: Cindy Kelsey, Sandra and David Neil, Brenda McKinstry, Sheila Duthie, Noah Hertendy, Angie Woods, Peggy Breithaupt, Cayleigh and Cash Matson, Gloria and Peter Smiley, and Barb Kirkland.
