At a Fashion Show and Brunch sponsored by Main Street Promenade and its retailers on November 12, guests were treated to a sneak peek at holiday and winter fashions. The event was held at Hugo’s Frog Bar and Fish House in downtown Naperville. Participating in the fashion show were Coldwater Creek, Coldwater Creek The Spa, Hot Mama, Hugo’s Frog Bar and Fish House, J. Jill, Jos. A. Bank, LOFT, Sur La Table, and White House/Black Market. The models were all employees of businesses that are tenants at Main Street Promenade. The fashion show was hosted by Scott Mackay, the morning DJ at 95.9 The River. Prizes and coupons were given to the guests throughout the morning.
