HMA and MAT Clubs put together their talents for event planning and fashion forecasting to showcase some of Lexington's best fashions in the annual Color Me Spring Fashion show. The show will showcase fashions from local boutiques. Guests will participate in a lively silent auction and receive hors d'oeuvres while the fashion show takes place.
