FAX Send or Receive Gazette-Times Twice-Around Style Show Aug. 19 Come out to the fair and enjoy the second annual Twice-Around Style Show. The idea of recycling has really caught on here in Morrow County, so last year the style show committee tried the idea of recycling clothes to show what a cost-effective idea this is. The style show was such a success that we are doing it again. If you have a favorite outfit you would like to model or have someone else model what you bought "second" from the Heppner Neighborhood Center, Condon Thrift Store or other thrift stores, a yard sale or a secondhand store, call Janice Skaggs, 676-5024, or Liz Green, 676-9832. The style show also needs models of all shapes and sizes, so all of you potential stars, give us a call. This show is also a great shopping opportunity because the Heppner Neighborhood Center and Condon Thrift Store will have clothes that can be bought off the rack or off the model.
