Tickets will be sold in advance for the Business Women of Bangor fashion show, “BeDazzled.”

Angelia Levesque of the sponsoring local chapter of the American Business Women’s Association reports that event begins with a social hour at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, May 3, at Spectacular Event Center, 395 Griffin Road in Bangor.

Tickets are $25 each, $50 for couples or $180 for a table for eight, and can be purchased by calling Deb White, 659-1264, or Patty Haverly-Johndro, 341-0662.

Levesque wants you to know that this year’s event features several honored guests including state Rep. Josh Tardy, and the chapter’s first scholarship recipient, Luna Raymond.

The fashion show is a fundraiser for this ABWA chapter that in the past two years has distributed more than $5,000 in scholarships.

“This year we will have something for everyone, with both male and female models,” Levesque added.

The show will feature fashions from Macy’s, Talbot’s, Henry’s Bridal, Millennium, Deb Shops, Dress Barn and The Grasshopper Shop.

Jewelry will be provided by Day’s Jewelers and J.R. Mitchell and Paul Dupuis will co-host the show.

The silent auction items include a strand of pearls from G.M. Pollack, an air conditioner from Dunnett’s, “and many more exciting items,” Levesque reported.
