Bob Jenkins, who is the producer and presenter of the show, has over 170 years' worth of clothing that will be on display as well as modeled by local individuals. Forty men and women are needed for models in assorted sizes. The Centennial Committee would also like some of the original local fashions that are at least 40 years old.
