Congratulations to Panambi Elliott who designed this show-stopping number, right down to the shoes from Cuppa Yo’s waste. Elliott collected discarded yogurt cups and spoons from the trash, hand-cut the waste, and then fashioned it into the fabulous garment shown below. Elliott’s design was one of six “Business Challenge” entries and won the first ever “Business Challenge” Award, decided by an audience vote.

Last December Bend’s event venue, the Century Center, hosted one of the most forward thinking, eco friendly, community events Central Oregon has witnessed. This spectacular show and fundraising event (est 2010) is organized and supported by creative, passionate, artistic, and environmentally-conscious people! LOTS of people. This post is the beginning of a series of posts featuring the talent behind the show.
