— from Ashley King for San Juan County Parks & Fair —

It’s time to start thinking about your fabulous Fair Fashion–that’s Trashion Fashion to be exact. The Trashion Fashion Show will be Saturday Aug.19th at 5 p.m. on the Main Stage–and we just couldn’t let her leave…..the lovely Francie Hansen is back at it bringing the show to life once again.

This contest is all about having FUN! So let your imagination go. Be wildly inventive, “think outside of the recycle bin.” and try another persona on for size. Please do remember, though, that this is a family show and there will be children in the audience. Use your best judgment and keep age-appropriateness in mind. The San Juan County Fair Board retains the right to refuse the entry if it is determined to be inappropriate.

All entrants or models of the entry must attend the Walk-Through Rehearsal, Monday, Aug. 14, 6 p.m. at the Main Stage, by the Main entrance on Argyle Ave. You must attend the rehearsal. The actual Trashion Fashion show is on Saturday Aug. 19th at 5 p.m. on the Main Stage. (Yes! new time—previously at 6 p.m.)

If you do not want to model your entry, you are encouraged to find a model. Please let us know if you need assistance with this—we can find one for you in a pinch.

Here are some ideas:

  • Create an outfit you could wear again. (Good design, well sewn, etc.)
  • Use those recycled materials
  • Re-use that trash! (items that are destined for the land fill)
  • Make something related to the Fair theme! (This year its “San Juan County Fair…It’s All the Buzz”)
