New sponsor for fashion parade

The annual Lions Club of Kowhai Coast fundraising fashion parade, normally sponsored by long-time fashion store Dorothys, which closed down last year, is set to continue with new sponsor Shadze of Lace.

Shadze of Lace is a Mahurangi -based fashion label, established in 1985. The clothes range from casual through to special occasion outfits for women in sizes 10 to 22. Owner Tracey Paton says she was honoured the club asked her to be involved. Accessories will again showcase the range of stock at Not Just Hats. The parade will be held at Bowls Warkworth, Mill Lane, on Tuesday July 18. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Entry is $15 and includes supper.

All proceeds will benefit the Warkworth community. Tickets are available from Shadze of Lace in Elizabeth Street or by phoning Sue at Kowhai Coast Lions on 425 6161.
