Fall Weather, Fashion and Frolic

In Case You Missed It!

On Thursday, Sept. 25 the Rotary Club of Tehachapi held its annual Fall Fashion Show. This year it took place at the new Wood's Pavilion on F Street. The Pavilion proved to be an amazing venue for the event.

Over 100 people (mostly women) showed up to view the Fall lineup of new fashions being offered at four local clothing stores. Each store presented a wide selection of beautiful offerings for ladies of all ages and some looks for men, as well. The models walked from the bridal house through the audience to the front stage area showing off the different colors, styles and assortment of wonderful fashions.

The following stores featured their fashions at the event:
