The popular Recycled Fashion Show sponsored by Bi-County Waste Management will return this year to Riverfest, the two-day music and arts festival scheduled for September 5 and 6.
The show is scheduled to take place at 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 6 in the Adventure Zone, and is intended to educate the general public about recycling in a fun and exciting way.
The show is meant to encourage youth and adults of all ages to construct fashions made entirely from recyclable materials for a chance to win cash. Contestants will be divided into two age categories, youth (ages 17 and under) and adult (ages 18 and up). Fashions will be judged based on creativity, use of materials, and overall look. A first, second, and third place will be awarded in each age group.
All fashion show entries may contain only recyclable materials. Interested contestants can visit the Parks and Recreation website for a list of acceptable materials and to pre-register online. Registration can also be done by mail or in person at our Main office no later than Thursday, September 4, 2014. There is no fee to enter the contest.
