Once again this event was held at Hotel Fort Wayne, in the Marquis room. The room is grand with spectacular lighting and mood. It was an honor to be one of the “puparazzi” for this event again this year.

The VIP guests not only received a gift bag, but were also seated in the front row of the runway.

BIG THANKS to all the businesses who donated(Komets, Vera Bradley, McMahon Tires, Dr. Gary’s Best Breed, just to name a few)! I am always amazed at how our community comes together to support this wonderful cause!
