As a testament to the first fashion parade a year ago the event was again a sellout. “There were the most beautiful new spring fashions, shoes and accessories showcased by Jacqui’s Fashion Boutique – one of the most long-standing fashion houses in Coffs Harbour and adored by all,” said Ms Oxley. Guests enjoyed sweet and savoury platters and wine. To add a festival spirit, there were stalls set up from Orara Valley Produce, Jelly Joy Skincare, Chocolate Dr, Bliss By Lis and Jacqui’s. Ms Oxley, along with colleagues from Armidale and Goonellabah, orchestrated the function – preparing the food, serving on the day and undertaking the big clean up afterwards. “While it was a lot of work, to see everyone having such a wonderful time was very rewarding,” Ms Oxley said. “It’s brilliant to be able to donate money to the Pink Silks, who know themselves how rewarding it is to host successful events like this.” There were multiple raffle and lucky door prizes on offer, donated by Emerald Island Distillery, along with some of the stall holders, Red Sparrow Tea Company, Oak Tree Retirement Village, and Ms Oxley herself.
