Look and Taste of Dawson fashion show on March 16 to use ‘real’ models
All walks of Dawson County life to be represented in show
By Michele Hester
Cathy Satterfield of Coldwater Creek at North Georgia Premium Outlets shows Woman’s Club members Priscilla Taylor and Marge Carey a few brightly colored spring fashions she thinks will be perfect for the Look and Taste of Dawson fashion show.
The setting is an airport as anxious travelers with passports in hands await their flights to unknown destinations. The passengers are of all ages and sizes. Some are dressed for the beach, a cruise or the golf course, while others are decked out in finely tailored suits. Still others parade through the hanger in formal gowns as many feel completely comfortable in their casual attire.
While they all dressed in different ways, the common tread that binds them all is the fact that they are on their way to a planned destination, and at that intended destination, they need to look good.
The Dawson County Woman’s Club typically holds a fashion show every spring. In the past, the fun festivity has taken place at the Dawson County gymnasium, but this year the group of women wanted to take it up a degree or two. “The fashion show has always been cute,” said Judy Baer. “This year, we’re trying to take it one step up into a big event.”
In what the woman’s club hopes will become a much anticipated annual events, the women’s club organized Look and Taste of Dawson with the help of Tom French, general manager of North Georgia Premium Outlets where the event will take place Thursday, March 16 at 6 p.m. French offered the mall’s Food Pavilion to stage the show, and his assistant Happy Bell, arranged for 16 outlet stores to provide clothing, accessories and shoes for the fashion show.
But this is no ordinary fashion show. Remember, the setting is an airport as travelers of all ages and sizes wait to depart for their destinations. “We have picked all size people, not just size two models coming down the runway, to be in the show,” said Baer. “Everyday, normal Dawson County people from itty, bitty children to mature women and men.”
Baer expects positive show reviews, because she said everyone will know someone walking down the runway. Models will represent all phases of Dawson County life, including civic and social organizations as well as local government, media and area businesses.
Keeping with the idea of a departing plane to destinations unknown, attendees will be given a passport as they enter the show, which will then be stamped as they walk through the “airport” tasting a variety of foods from 17 Dawson County restaurants and caterers.
“Everyone has been so easy to deal with getting this together,” said Baer, “the stores, the restaurants and the models.”
The Dawson County Woman’s Club Look and Taste of Dawson fashion show is Thursday, March 16 at 6 p.m. in the Food Pavilion at North Georgia Premium Outlets. Tickets are on sale now for $20. Baer believes the event will be such a success there will be few, if any, tickets available at the door. All proceeds go to fund the Dawson County Woman’s Club’s many community projects. For more information and tickets, call (706) 216-8310, (706) 265-3868 or (706) 216-3941.
