Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our 2010 Organic in the City Fashion Show + Auction a success!
Proceeds benefited Texas Discovery Gardens’ hands-on educational initiative.
Nearly 200 guests came out to enjoy hors d'oeuvres from Blue Mesa Grill, jazz by Tropikal Productions, and some exciting new fashion from local Lindsay Weatherread, Austin's Ross Bennett, and the very gifted design students of El Centro College.
