The Dress Up For Down Syndrome Fashion Show was a sold-out success at the Joan Harris Cruise Pavilion on Sunday with over 150 in attendance. The fashion models were children and adults living with Down syndrome, and their families.

The Cape Breton Highlanders professional basketball team were pleased to be invited to show their style on the runway and in the audience.

Tyrone Levingston, President and GM, opened the show with baby Skylynn.

Big 6'11" Mike Luby let his hair down and created a buzz in the audience with Jonathan.

Mike Rostampour unveiled the Rostampour wiggle with Ryan.

Tyrel Edwards and Daniel wowed the crowd with their choreography.

Special guests also included the Tar City Rollers women's roller derby team and the WeirdBeard Puppets.

More about the event will be posted soon by the Cape Breton Down Syndrome Society.
