Drinks and treats were provided by 290PressCafe during the evening, as the guests leisurely visited with friends.

The fashions were divided into "then" and "now" categories. The show began with local teens making their way down the runway as they modelled fashions from the 1950s to 1990s. Suede boots, puffed sleeves, ruffles, bows, plaid pants, pillbox hats and wide collars were all displayed. There were also silk gowns, velvet dresses, striped dresses, mini dresses and pant suits.

The young girls did a great job parading down the runway wearing cute little dresses and a fur coat, and a young boy wowed the crowd in a double-breasted coat from the mid-century era along with a 1930s cap.

The second segment of the show featured "now" fashions, supplied by Labelle Boutique and KrazE Threads. The finale had the group of models making a final appearance before their audience.

And after the show had concluded, energetic littles in the crowd had fun running down the runway.
