Eco-friendly fashion show hosted by Putnam Museum Sept. 30

DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) -If you are a fan of unique fashion and also appreciate recycling (and environmentalism), here’s an event that’s perfect for you. It’s a fashion show of outfits made from recycled materials.

Scott Peake, Putnam Museum, highlights the Junkcraft Recycling Fashion Show set to be held in the Grand Lobby on Sept. 30 at 6 p.m. The evening will feature light refreshments, fashions, and a cash bar. Admission is $25. Tickets are available here.

This event is in conjunction with our JUNKraft: Plastic Pollution Solutions exhibit, currently on display at the Putnam.

With each garment made of plastic bottles, discarded plastic grocery bags, or any other discarded material, we tell the story of the prolific nature of single-use plastics and their detrimental effect on the environment.
