Annual style event set for November 9

“Snoopy Takes a Road Trip!” is the theme of the 64th annual Loyola College Prep Style Show set for 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Shreveport Convention Center.

Loyola College Preparatory School is Shreveport’s only four-year Catholic high school, and the style show serves as the school’s largest fund-raiser and a venue for recognizing graduating seniors as well as alumni. Last year the event raised $40,000.

“Everybody in the Loyola community gets involved, and everyone has a memory of it,” said Kristen Watts of the show. Watts is the event’s publicity chair. “They’re always a lot of fun and a great production.”

The show’s chairpersons this year are Theresa Murphy, Missy Huckabay and Lori Mays, all parents of Loyola Prep seniors, said Watts.

While attendees dine on a catered lunch, the Loyola Senior Class of 2017 will model fashions from local merchants as they entertain the crowd to a soundtrack of road tunes. Merchants include: Altar’d State, Cactus Trading Company, Cavender’s, Chez Rivage Boutique, Dillard’s, Favorite Sisters’ Boutique, Gearhead Outfitters, Harper House Boutique, John Pickens Custom Clothiers, Lorants Sporting Goods, M Clothing, The Paper Tulip, Patton’s, Pope’s, Poppy Clothing, Simply Chic Boutique, Sportspectrum, Squire’s Formal Wear and Vertage Clothing.

Multiple grand prize packages will be raffled off, including a jewelry package valued at $3,350; a football road trip package to see the Dallas Cowboys; a baseball road trip to see LSU; and a basketball road trip to see the New Orleans Pelicans play.

Grand prize tickets may be purchased online for $20 each; a limited number will be available at the door on the day of the show.

Raffle tickets may also be reserved for $5 each for additional packages valued between $1,000 and $2,000 and filled with items from local businesses and individuals.
