In preparation for the inaugural Forks February Fashion Show, community members are invited to a planning and design session Saturday at the Forks Library, 171 S. Forks Ave. It will be from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Participants can learn how to bring their upcycled fashion ideas to life and receive design assistance from Mendful. They will be able to use Mendful’s Maker Space at Ginger’s Closet leading up to the fashion show.

Then on Saturday, Feb. 8, participants can strut down the runway in their upcycled fashion creations. Forks February Fashion Show will begin at 5:30 p.m. that day at the Forks Library.

The public is invited to enjoy the creativity at this free event. Refreshments will be provided.
