Fashion Show, Pop-Up Shopping April 14

Missouri Valley College’s first-ever Alumni Fashion Show and Pop-Up Shopping event on campus April 14 in the Malcolm Center is a sellout.

Numerous mid-Missouri boutiques are involved, as well as beauty and wellness vendors. The fashion show will be held from 1-2 p.m. in the Malcolm Center’s Bacon Room, and the pop-up shopping event will happen in the adjacent gymnasium.

“I’m super-excited to bring these boutiques and vendors to campus,” said Katie Shannon, president of MVC’s alumni board and a member of the board of trustees. “And I’m happy that our student models are getting shopping credit for their work. And the community involvement on this is very impressive.”

Shannon said the main event sponsors, the “Fashionista’s,” are the Marshall Chamber of Commerce and the Marshall Tourism Commission. The Fashion Assistants are: the Sedalia Chamber of Commerce, Simply Realty, and the Chad and Ellen Lance family.

Complimentary snacks and beverages will be available for fashion show attendees. The event has been established as a fundraiser for the MVC Alumni Association.
