DETROIT LAKES — The Holiday Fashion Show included Christmas classic singalongs, sweet treats and outfits that drew the eyes of those in attendance on Monday, Nov. 28.
Area residents volunteered to be runway models for the afternoon event at the Historic Holmes Theatre. Many of the volunteers were also members of the Engage group.
Engage aims to provide socialization and activities for area residents who are 50 years of age and older.
Loree Alverson volunteered to be a model in the show because she “thought it would be fun to try on different outfits.” The Detroit Lakes resident raved about her experience with Northbound Girl shop owner, Shawna Rose. While Rose helped pick outfits for the show, Alverson said she listened to the models and ensured they were comfortable with what they were showcasing.
“It’s been a great experience,” she said, before pointing to the dressing room door and noting her day of work wasn’t done.

Rose was an emcee of the event along with Melia Kerrins. Kerrins is the program coordinator of Engage and shared fun facts about the runway models. Rose provided the audience with details about the ensembles being showcased.
