“Live Lively In The Show Me State” Fashion Show The Fashion Show can be interpreted as you like. We see it as a prelude to the National Convention in Kansas City in June 2018. Let’s make this a time to whet the appetites of Square Dancers. Your involvement will help the success of the 2016 State and the 2018 National Convention. 

  



Represent your District for the State of Missouri by wearing that outfit that is begging to be shown off. This could be one individual, couple, child, family or a square from your club. We would ask you to send 1 or 2 personal or forwarded Internet pictures of Area Sights or History for us to use as a backdrop. You might want to highlight a holiday outfit, club outfit (old or new) or just simply your favorite. Thank You. Maybe your dream of what fashion will be in the future. How does your partner or friend fit in? No partner? Great. If you are a solo or youth we can arrange an escort to “show you off”. Maybe you would like to show us your favorite dress attire when you come to a dance. Possibly a skirt with leggings for the young. (No jeans please) NOTE: We want the Solos and Youth to know they are special. We are setting up special meet and greet areas at the dance for the weekend of dance. That’s right. Mark those calendars now. This is not a time to stay home. You are special! Want to model an outfit made by another square dancer or vendor? Submit the form. A later description will be accepted.

Please return the form by August 1, 2016. We want to put together an entertaining not boring show. One without interruption, just organized FUN! Come and be pleasantly surprised.
