THRIFT SHOP TO CATWALK
Charity Fundraising Community Event
Join us for a preloved fashion show cuddled up with delicious soup and homemade pie!
This community charity fashion event extravaganza will showcase our locals’ “Winter Woollies Wonderland Style” while supporting a great cause, working together with the Great Lakes Womens Shelter!
Dress to impress in your unique, stylish, or favourite snuggly going-out winter outfit and enjoy a heart-warming afternoon filled with fashion, fun, and fundraising.
The sit-down menu allows you to witness or join the fashion show. You might even share a "Winter Woollies Wonderland" experience, by telling a short story about how you have revived, reused, or repaired a winter garment, all while indulging in warm soup followed by sweet homemade pie!
Browse through the curated thrift OPshop and witness the magic of preloved fashion on the catwalk at The WhiteHouse Nook Café.
