SCORCHING fashions wowed the audience at the annual Sticklepath Fashion Show. Organised by Sticklepath Fireshow, the fashion show is now in its seventh year and takes place on Finch Foundry Field. The event is preceded by a week long set of workshops where adults and children came along to find the inspiration, materials and professional help needed to produce inventive outfits. Bev Hilton, of the fireshow committee, said: ?The aim of the week?s events is to give young and old alike a chance to make costumes, masks and puppets just like we use for the real fireshow in November. ?The entrants could choose for themselves exactly what they wished to make and then had all the fun of parading their creations on a catwalk.? Among the categories which youngsters worked hard to create ideas from were old favourites such as ?Make a garment from waste? and fun new ideas like, ?Depict a famous landmark?. The event MC was Tim Argles, with the hard job of judging the winners in each category of the show undertaken by Sue Bizley, Suzanne Maxwell and Nick Groom. The committee expressed thanks to all the participants and judges as well as the workshop assistants, Steve Compton, the Devon Marquee Company, Finch Foundry, STOC, Sticklepath Village Hall, West Devon Council and the anonymous donor from within the village, whose generosity saved the event from failing before it had even started.
