Planning is underway and reservations are being accepted for The Fountains at The Albemarle’s Spring Fashion Show on March 26.

A full house is expected, according to Fountains Executive Director Diane Barlow.

The two front rows are always reserved for the family of Nora Mears, in whose memory the annual show is held. Before Nora passed away from cancer at age 78, she worked part time as a marketer for the retirement community, where she was affectionately known as ‘the fashion queen.’

“We created this event three years ago to celebrate Nora’s zest for life and legacy of good taste,” said Rhonda Langley, marketing director with The Fountains. “Our resident models really get a kick out of getting all dolled up and parading around in the latest fashions.”

This year’s event will commence with a ladies luncheon at 11:30 a.m. followed by the 1:30 p.m. show, featuring ladies clothing from the new spring line by Talbot’s.

Attendance is free, courtesy of The Fountains at The Albemarle. Raffle tickets may be purchased at the event for prizes donated by Talbot’s, The Fountains and area merchants, with proceeds to benefit the American Cancer Society.

The Fountains is at 200 Trade Street. For more information or reservations, call 823-2799.
