High school teens from the Valley will be featured in a first-of-its-kind fashion show at the Valley Mall in Harrisonburg on Saturday, August 17, 2024, from 1 to 3 p.m.

The show will be held in the JCPenney Court and feature back-to-school and homecoming fashions modeled by students, Cinderella Project volunteers and Miss America’s VA Little Sisters.

The inaugural fashion show is a collaboration between the Cinderella Project led by Rhonda Howdyshell; the Valley Mall led by general manager Cortney Carderelli; and Miss America’s VA Little Sisters program led by Dale Bradshaw. The Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge provided funding to support the program.
