FROM OUR CHAIR

                                                      Celebrating
                                           45-years
                                           Spring has sprung, Summer is moving fast and the Fall
                                           season is upon us. What’s not to love about September
                                           Issues, layers, boots and all things pumpkin spice? Though
                                           these are last year's trends, the Fall 2018 runways will be
                                           anything but. Oversized outerwear, delicate and bold florals,
                                           iridescent fabrics... so much inspiration! As we head towards
                                           the 45th A Blooming Affair Fashion Show and
                                           Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest’s 50th Celebration, we
                                           couldn’t be more excited.

                                           I am continually thrilled year after year by the success and
                                           growth A Blooming Affair continues to see. Entering our
                                           45th year speaks volumes to A Blooming Affair being not
                                           just the premiere fall fashion event in Waterloo Region, but
                                           truly the only fashion event of its caliber and size that brings
                                           over 800 attendees to meet and shop with our region's
                                           leading independent boutique and fashion retailers.

                                           A Blooming Affair has evolved from its roots in 1973, as a
                                           floral demonstration to a fashion show donning 25-hand-
                                           made outfits. Those outfits were made by volunteer still
                                           active with the committee today. We now boast a 100 ft.
                                           runway showcasing local fashions, 20+ shopping boutiques

2018 ABA Sponsors
                                           as well as gourmet food and beverages catered by
                                           B Hospitality; creating a truly one-of-a-kind experience, all
                                           hosted at Kitchener’s newest venue, LOT42. If there is one
            Presented by                   thing that I have come to know since my time as Miss
                                           Oktoberfest, it is that the possibilities are truly endless to the
                                           ever blooming, A Blooming Affair Fashion Show.

                                           Join us on Sunday September 30th, 2018 for the 45th
