'Trashion' show to promote recycling
ROME, Ga. -- Berry College is gearing up for its annual Recycled Fashion Show and Plastic Bottle Sculpture Contest.
Both events will take place at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 12 in Berry's Krannert Ballroom. Tickets are $5 each or $15 per family; attendees may also donate a gently used winter coat for Rome Action Ministries in lieu of paying admission.
Children are invited to design outfits made of at least 75% recycled material and wear them on the fashion show's runway. Cash prizes will be given to the most creative outfits.
The fashion show is sponsored by Berry College Elementary and Middle School, Berry Student Government Association, Green Team and Students Against Violating the Earth (SAVE).
