Get out your calendar! SWAP’s Trashion Fashion steering committee is hard at work on the 2016 show and has set the date of August 6. We have some exciting new ideas, including inviting those attending, if they wish, to wear second hand, up-cycled, or made from trash clothing. Again this year the very popular Bill Johnson and Liz Scranton will be MCs.

We are eager for new participants and have heard that you may be scared of the competition. To dispel that fear a bit we want to assure you that we all enter the show for the fun and that these days everyone gets a prize. If you need ideas you can check out the DVDs from the 2013 and the 2014 season from the library. There will also be workshops to help you make your outfit. Watch the paper, the SWAP website and LopezRocks for announcements about these. Grandparents, organizations, work groups and individuals, please participate with us in one of Lopez’s most entertaining events. You will have fun!
