On Saturday, July 26, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Youth Department at Selby Public Library in downtown Sarasota will host its second annual Plato's Closet Fashion Dash, the library has announced. The event will feature clothing exchanges along with a fashion show at 1 p.m. and live music. The exchanges, which are for young men and women, will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and again from 2 to 4 p.m., organiz- ers say. At its 6513 S. Tamiami Trail location in Sarasota, Plato's Closet invites people to bring in gently used brand-name clothing and accessories. Buyers assess the items and then make offers "based on style, condition, brand and the store's current stock levels," the store's website notes. People can use the payments they receive for items in the store or just leave with their cash, it adds. All ages are welcome at the July 26 event, organizers point out.
