Congratulations to Tocumwal Can Assist and the Lions Club of Tocumwal and District on such a successful event with the Toc Fashion Show.
The show featured fashions from Ida Jane, Tocumwal and was held at the Lions Community Centre, in Adams Street.
The fun began at noon, with raffles and prizes galore and a tasty lunch of cold meats and salads.
The organisers of the event have been overwhelmed with the response to the fashion show and have had nothing but positive feedback.
They wanted to make special mention to their models of the day for braving the crowd and strutting down the catwalk.
They also extend a big thank you to Sharon Dennis for providing the beautiful flowers and Linda Lechter for arranging them which made a stunning addition to the tables.
Congratulations once again on a fantastic event, fundraising for two incredibly worthy organisations.
