The Sassy Spur, Cristal’s and Two Chic Chicks are providing fall apparel for the show. The luncheon will be catered by the Gathering Place and promises to be a treat.

Please note: these fashions are not for seniors only, but a broad range of fall clothing styles will be shown, from teen to seniors. Our models include students from Smithson Valley High School, Texas Hills Bank, the community and BSC members.

Owners of the clothing businesses will be on hand to provide informative descriptions of the fashions.

Besides the luncheon and the opportunity to view the latest in fall fashions, there will be door prizes and gift baskets. Our own talented Jeni Weeks, a volunteer who manages our gift shop, is making centerpieces for each table at the luncheon.
