Sunday morning we start things off right with a Religious Retreat at 10:30 am. and we always have a high time in the Lord. At 12:30 pm we will open our trade show and our vendors are looking forward to you coming out to shop and take advantage of great savings. They will be there until 6:00 pm. Everyone is invited. CE classes will be going on from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm. There are five classes to chose from. We end this day with our Presidents Award Banquet with 100 Stylist in Black and Silver at 7:30 pm. Such a beautiful occasion.
Monday our classes start, after devotion, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Monday is also our student day with classes for them and their student competition at 3:00 pm. This competition is always very exciting and fun. It is for cosmetology, barber and nail students. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies, money and prizes. Even if you are not taking classes we want you to come out and cheer on and support the students. For more information about student day contact Dr. Betty Franks at 919-247-9493.
Monday evening will start out with something quite different. We will have a "Grab Bag" Professional Competition. If you know that you are bad when it comes to your trade then come out and compete. You will receive a "grab bag" with some surprise supplies in it and you will be expected to style and work on your model with what you get in your bag. If you don’t have a model you can grab one from the audience. This should be a lot of fun. The entry fee is only $35.00. There will be trophies and cash prizes. For more information on this please call Sarah Ledet at 919-772-5030. After the competition the Trendsetters release will take place with styles and presentations on the latest trends and our magazine. To top the evening off, stay to enjoy our fabulous Fashion Explosion on the runway.
On Tuesday we will have our final business session but some of the vendors will still be on the trade show floor. Our Jr. Executive Board luncheon will take place from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Hats are a part of the attire for this event because if you don’t have a hat you won’t have a chance to win one of the two cash prizes when your ticket number is called.
