Yeah! What a spectacular night. The North Canton Library teens won the Kimono Contest! 16 entries and we won for the High School age. Li, Bree & Erin all went to the stage to receive free tickets to the Kimono As Art Landscapes of Itchiku Kubota in downtown Canton. They also received memberships to the Massillon Art Museum, which will give our thriving artists a great discount to some terrific art classes.
The fashion show put together by the Kent State University Fashion Student Organization were colorful and lively. The music played during the show was compiled by our very own Ryan Kibby, and it sounded terrific. There was a large crowd which made it all worthwhile, the models were enthusiastic and the flow was great.
Even with the snow coming down many people walked from the Lincoln Theatre to the Massillon Museum for a very nice Reception.
All-in-all this was a fabulous experience and I'm so proud of the girls.

Kimono Fabulous

Well I must say the kimono 3 students helped design for the Obakana Kazoku Anime Manga Club is spectacular. The North Canton Library was asked by the Fashion Student Organization of Kent Stae University to decorate a kimono for the Midori Japanese Inspired Fashion Show being held at the Lions Lincoln Theatre in downtown Massillon on Saturday February 21st, doors open at 6:00pm. At the show kimonos from across stark county will be judged by everyone who comes. I thought it would be interesting to post some of the pics we took while putting the kimono together.

Li Gianfagna, Bree & Erin Sterling are the 3 young ladies who helped in the process. The girls did a terrific job, each bringing to the project their own special talents.
