About the show

It sold out, and then the committee extended the runway so the room could seat four hundred and forty five. More than thirty vendors filled the boutique with handbags, boutique fashion, athletic wear, jewellery and children’s clothing, and the runway carried designs from Barrington area boutiques and Chicago designers.

Long and Company Jewelers ran the quick raffle: twenty dollars bought a box, and one of them held a diamond cocktail ring. The live auction was five lots, and the super silent added seven more, most of them donated by members and their families rather than bought in.

Sold out. Thank you. The runway was extended to seat 445 attendees. We are so excited for Saturday.
