Teton Valley Community Recycling’s annual TRASH BASH fundraiser is Saturday, Oct. 15 from 6-10 p.m. at West Side Yard in Victor!
This family friendly event features the valley’s only trashion show. “Project Runway” and sustainable fashion collide as “trashionistas” walk the catwalk in outfits made from everything you can possibly image — recycled VCR tape, old tents, bike tubes, plastic bags, and more! Seriously, this is a can’t miss event the fall!
The TRASH BASH raises money for programs that reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink waste in Teton Valley. There is a $10 donation for entry at the door (children 10 and under free).
And there will be a lot of great silent auction prizes to bid on!
Event sponsors include Silver Star Communications, Peaked Sports, RAD Curbside, Fall River Electric, Basin Travel Stop, Farmer’s Insurance, MD Nursery, and Eagle Orthopedic.
Stay tuned for more details and be sure to mark your calendars for Oct. 15!
