The well known fashion house of SD Kells contributed to an event, which included fashion for all ages and occasions.
Under the guidance of Jean Cochrane, models showed off the latest fashions on the catwalk, with music provided by schoolboy helper Connor Dickson.
Generous gifts from a variety of local firms and individuals donated towards the ballot, which included two dresses kindly given by SD Kells.
The 250 strong audience greatly appreciated the display of fashion and also the light supper served during the interval.
