Where: University of Hawaii Art Auditorium (Parking will be $6 at the guard shack) When: Saturday, April 28, 2012 8:00 am to 3:00 pm Theme: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter...Colors of the Season

This year’s Fashion Show/2-D Art/Photography contests are planned by the Executive Board. The tri-chairs for the Fashion Show are Aiko Doike, Staci Kohashi and Erin Voss. Farin Fukunaga is the chair for the 2-D Art Contest. Clover Kids 4-H Club is chairing the Photography Contest. The Fashion Show is a one-day event with the judging in the morning, lunch and the show to follow. We will serve a light lunch. We would like each club to bring two (2) different homemade desserts that are already cut into serving pieces (enough for 40 people).

The 4-H’ers can begin this project by getting out their sewing machines and start to sew, sew, sew!  For those who don’t want to sew, you may enter a ready-made garment.  This year instead of writing about your garment, the 20-second commentary will be about the 4-H’er who is entering the fashion show (see registration sheet). Please e-mail your commentaries to roses@hawaii.edu and mail or deliver the hard copies by Friday, April 13th.

The photography contest requirements are listed below. The photos and 2-D art will be due on Friday, April 13, 2012.  Judging will be held on Sunday, April 22nd. All photographs and art work will be on display at the Fashion Show with their ribbons.  After the Fashion Show, we want everyone to claim their photos and art work.

Committees Needed

Thanks to the following clubs and individuals who volunteered for the Fashion Show Committees. Just Us will do registration, Warriors will secure judges for the Fashion Show, Pot of Gold will help with lunch and the Farrington FCCLA will do the scoring and awards.
