Trail Chic fashion show fundraiser Friday, July 27

For some, half the fun of hiking is the fact that you can wear your favorite worn-out T-shirt with the holes in the shoulders and those faded shorts at the bottom of the drawer. For others, there’s “Trail Chic.”

Trail chic: [treyl sheek] adjective
Fashionable while recreating outdoors; stylish: “That is a seriously trail chic outfit.

Trail chic: [treyl sheek] noun
Style and elegance, especially in dress: “Eastside residents have such trail chic.”

It’s funky, it’s fun, it’s your friends in a fashion show on a green-carpet runway that you don’t want to miss:

Friday, July 27, 2012 at 7:30pm at the Lee Vining Community Center.

Generously sponsored by Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, there will be wines to sip and a great silent auction and raffle. You’ll see the hottest (and coolest?) runway fashions from Patagonia and Wilson’s Eastside Sports. And there will be trail snacks from the Mono Market. Join in the fun and you’ll be helping kids learn about the source of their water and the importance of watershed stewardship at the same time.

Here’s a recap of Trail Chic 2010. It was a blast—we hope you’ll hike on out for the event.
