GROVELAND – On Friday, June 16 and Saturday, June 17 the Rubbish to Runway ReFashion Show will take to the runway again after three years of online virtual shows. The show, a sell-out event for the past 12 years, will be held at Veasey Memorial Park in Groveland. The proceeds will go to Veasey Memorial to support Lucile’s Cottage, an artist venue planned for the campus.
The Rubbish to Runway has been a community favorite since 2010. All fashions are made from recycled or upcycled consumer materials. Its purpose, besides being a fundraiser, is to bring attention to the usefulness of waste. Designers use a wide array of inventive materials including, but not limited to, bicycle tires, bread tabs, old tents, and mosquito netting to produce outfits that awe, surprise, and delight audiences.
Showtime for Rubbish to Runway is 7:30pm on Friday June 16 and Saturday June 17. Don’t miss the 6pm reception (both nights!) of delicious food & drinks with Rubbish to Runway hosts, Elizabeth Rose, Melissa Montello, Kim Dowling, and Vanessa Lopez.
“We are especially grateful to Veasey Memorial for donating their gorgeous space for the event and to our generous sponsors New England Biolabs and The Institution for Savings for their sponsorships,” said Elizabeth Rose.
