This is the fourth fashion show the two entities have sponsored together and the second with proceeds benefiting the Fran Carter Memorial Scholarship. "Fran played such an important role in the college foundation and was one of Carnaby Square's biggest fans. I couldn't think of a better way to honor my friend's legacy than working with the foundation to raise money in honor of her for scholarships," said Kristi Hornung, owner and operator of Carnaby Square. The location is a new one for the event, as it will be held at the First Christian Church of Fairfield. "The response to this event year after year continues to grow," said Sarah Rush, President of the FCC Foundation. "We are so thankful to Pastor Craig Scott and the church leadership team for allowing us to use the multipurpose room for this event. Fran was also a faithful member and servant of First Christian Church, so it is truly fitting to have the event there." The fashion show is scheduled to begin at 3pm on Sunday, November 6th. Doors will open at 2:30pm. A light dessert and drinks will be served. Tickets are on sale now at Carnaby Square for $15 each or $100 for a reserved table of eight.
