Retro Runway is strutting back through the decades — and you’re invited!

Get ready for a fabulously fun fashion event showcasing vintage styles from the swingin’ 60s, the groovy 70s, and the bold, glam 80s — all in support of The Yellow Cottage Kitchen.

WHEN: Thursday, September 24 | 11 a.m.
WHERE: Lee Lockwood Library, 2801 W Waco Dr, Waco, TX 76707, USA
