"A True Taste of Steveston: A Fashion Show for Seniors" was held at the Steveston Community Centre (SCC) on June 26th and was nothing short of fabulous.

Special thanks goes to Margie Hardy, Seniors Programme Coordinator at the SCC and creative force behind this inaugural fashion show, for her endless energy and enthusiasm in organizing this very special event. And thank you to her charming co- host, Tony, for being such a sport in a room of ladies.

And of course, in true Steveston style, this was truly a community endeavor and a great opportunity to showcase some of our local merchants.

A huge thank you to Treasures Boutique, Seas on Shore and Jet-Lag Travel Fashion Boutique for providing the wonderful fashions and accessories; Stepin' Out for their latest and greatest in fancy footwear; H2O Hair and Nail Co. for getting the models "glammed" up, and to The Beatmerchant for providing the jazzy tunes throughout the afternoon.

And thank you to the many local artists who had a showing of their wonderful creations in the lobby.

Everyone was treated to a delicious luncheon, provided by Eva Unger at the Minoru Place Cafeteria.

Also, a big thank you to the Steveston Community Centre for lending the great location and to all the behind-the-scenes volunteers who helped to make the occasion one to remember: The servers, fashion consultants, planners, yoga dancers and decorators, and last but by no means least, it's a known fact that our Super Models stole the show. All gave of their time and energy to make this event such a success.

As tickets sold out weeks prior to the event, together with the post-show comments and chit-chat that followed, indicated that this fashion treat was a roaring success—as we all hoped and knew it would.

Well done everyone... it's this kind of vibrant community spirit that makes Steveston a remarkable place to live and play.
