It won't be your average fashion show. That's a promise from organizers of the annual event to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast, who plan to pair men who are community leaders with family members and models from Boys & Girls on Saturday.
The Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront, 333 First St. S, is the site for the 10 a.m. brunch, which will feature Beall's clothing.
The Peg Nunn Hat Award will go to the most distinctive hats.
Tickets are $45 each. Proceeds go to the Peg Nunn Memorial Scholarship Fund, which helps Boys & Girls Club members who are seniors in high school with college expenses. Information: 821-9536, 374-3960.
Wine Under Stars benefit is Saturday
Food, wine, dessert and music will be featured at Wine Under the Stars, a Saturday fundraiser from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Science Center of Pinellas County, 7701 22nd Ave. N, St. Petersburg. Tickets are $45 each. Information: 384-0027.
Sojourn benefit features Kiwi theme
Sojourn, a Feb. 3 benefit for WEDU-TV, will feature a New Zealand theme and Mel Sembler, former U.S. ambassador to Australia, as honorary chair.
There will be wine, food, art, dance and music, and that's before the dinner and wine pairings begin. Sojourn starts at 6 p.m. at the Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park, 950 Lake Carillon Drive. Tickets, $200. Information:
