Hamiota Ladies Curling Club Fashion Show was a great place to pick up fashion tips, see what’s new for ’26 and at the end of the event, maybe even purchase an outfit.

Curling club emcee Penny Dixon welcomed the crowd and introduced fashion show commentator Sam Cluett, proprietor of Samantha’s Boutique: The Trendy store With the Pink Door.

    Samantha’s Boutique, a ladies’ clothing store located in Elkhorn, is a full-service flower shop that also carries giftware. Cluett was thrilled to be asked back for a second year and said, “Being able to take our boutique on the road is a great opportunity to meet new people in new communities.” She added, “The goal is always to display fashion for all women – different body types, women of all ages and women of different styles. I strongly believe that if you like it, you can wear it. Our goal is also to help you find pieces you will reach for again and again.”

   The store has served other small towns with fashion shows in St. Lazare and this year a show in Melita as well. In preparation for their Sunday show in Hamiota the models visited Elkhorn to pick out their own fashions to wear. They also had first dibs in purchasing them following the show. Guests saw over 30 outfits as models walked the runway in three different sets of clothing before lining up in their favourite outfits at the close of the show.

During two breaks, a bar and an amazing array of hors d’oeuvres were available. Door prizes included homemade preserves, a beautiful craft and a $50 gift card for Samantha’s Boutique.

    Following the show, shoppers browsed a rack of clothing and décor pieces.

Hosting the Sunday event - the Ladies Curling Club: Penny Dixon, LeeAnn Haggarty, Shelly Heaman, Cassidy Heapy, Gayle Tolton, Lynn Skayman and Sheilah Gregory.

Of the 55 guests, over half were current or former curlers.
