That's right, a Toolbelt Fashion Show where you will see local businesses and vendors "strut their stuff" modelling their toolbelts, while attendees bid for the toolbelt they want to win! 

Proceeds from the event support the purchase of the required building materials and subcontractors used in building local Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln homes.

Suggested dress: cocktail casual (What is cocktail casual: men could wear dark suits (with or without a tie), dress pants with dress shirts, and even a nice pair of jeans with a sport coat or jacket. Women could wear knee-length skirts or dress pants with a nice sweater or blouse, or go for the classic “little black cocktail dress.”) Take it up a notch and add a splash of Habitat Blue or Green to help us celebrate!
