 Holman Lee Agency
It’s the best community event of the season in Thurles and an occasion when all Tipperary females don that bit of ‘slap’ and their best frocks, to relax and study what’s new in the latest Autumn and Spring fashion lines from various collections currently available in Thurles. It’s an ‘all under one roof event’, with many side shows including jewellery, footwear and health food and of course its the perfect time of year to browse for ideas, with Christmas just 12 weeks away, on the horizon.
This community event, which will open with a wine and cheese reception, is organised annually by Thurles Chamber and will be staged on Thursday next October 1st.
The event moves this year to the Anner Hotel, Dublin Road, Thurles, thanks to the generosity of the hotels proprietor Mr Frank Mulcahy.
The very lovely Celia Holman Lee (RTE fame) will once again act as hostess for the evening and provide models from her very professional Holman Lee Modelling Agency, to exhibit the full garment array entered for viewing.
The Make-Up artist and Hair Stylist for the evenings performance will be provided by Natasha Doyle of “Boutique Salon” situated in Parnell Street, Thurles.
Miss Michelle Heffernan, winner of this years ” Pride of Tipperary 2009″ competition, will also be on hand to assist in finding the evenings ‘Best Dressed Lady’ and this award brings with it as usual a much coveted prize.
Tickets this year are very affordable priced at just €25 each and if you have not got your ticket yet or indeed if you would like to further boost your business by joining with Thurles Chamber, at what promises to be a most enjoyable evening, then make immediate contact with the personnel named hereunder:-
