For more than 100 years, a network of friends in communities in Wilson County have shared a common goal: to learn through shared experiences, to improve home and community life, to strengthen adult education, and to promote projects which enhance family and community life. Through our rich history, we have grown from small community clubs to a county-wide network focused on growth through education.

The FCE Fashion Review is for Wilson County FCE members who have an interest and craft in sewing and shopping. Wilson County FCE members will choose some of their best sewn garments to model in the various categories. In addition, members may also choose their best fashion purchase. Contestants will be judged on sewing ability, neatness, fashion-forward ideas, fit and creativeness.
