The Big Stone Health Care Foundation teamed up with Linda’s Fashions in Milbank for their annual style show on December 8. “This year’s theme was A Fashion Wonderland and it was the sixth year the foundation has worked with Linda to put on the fundraiser,” said Vanessa Lhotka Meyer, director of the Big Stone Health Care Foundation. “We think of it as an end-of-the-year thank you for our donors – a donor celebration, if you will. Many of the attendees give multiple times throughout the year in memory of loved ones and friends.”

Linda Buri, owner of Linda’s Fashions for over 38 years, donates her time and services. She says, “I enjoy the opportunity to be part of a worthy cause.” She began in 1985 with a gala for the Milbank Education Foundation. After her first event for the BSHC Foundation in 2013, the foundation discovered Linda’s unique sense of style increased interest in the foundation’s mission and helped to garner community support.

The show is always scheduled right after Linda’s annual buying trip, so guests get a sneak peek at what’s new from items she has handpicked from markets across the country. This year, the 20 models showcased 132 looks.

Guests also dined on gourmet French toast and blueberries served by nine male waiters;-) Lavish decorations by Marilyn Hanson, Nancy Nolop, and Ethel Swenson added a snow flurry dimension to the winter scene and set the perfect backdrop for the show. The 100 attendees hailed from the local area and Aberdeen, Sioux Falls, Watertown, Browns Valley, and Fargo.
