What can’t the Westport Library do?
What doesn’t the Westport Downtown Association do for the town?
And what better cause than Homes with Hope?
The Library’s Trefz Forum was transformed into a models’ runway last night.
The WDA’s 6th annual Fashionably Westport show — a benefit for the town’s supportive housing and food pantry programs — drew nearly 100 models.
Dressed fashionably in outfits from nearly 3 dozen local retailers (and with hair styling and makeup donated too), local celebrities, friends and neighbors strutted their stuff.
The women were gorgeous. The men looked as good as we could. The kids stole the show.
TV journalist Dave Briggs and CBS weatherman Lonnie Quinn — both Westporters — served as high-energy MCs.
A silent auction raised even more funds. (Bidding ends April 30; click here for items.)
The food and drinks were wonderful.
And — in keeping with the evening — The Home Cook donated extra food to Homes with Hope’s Gillespie Center, a few yards away from the Library.
Staples High School junior Ryan Allen — “06880”‘s superb photographer — captured all the action. Let the fun begin!
