		<description><![CDATA[<p>This year, we are using several different stores in Valley Fair, Santana Row, Los Gatos, Willow Glen and Westgate Mall. We have K-Adult models to fit and a very tight schedule between fittings. Please read the following carefully:</p>
<ol>
<li>Your fitting time is mandatory and you must be there on time. (If you do not make it, you may be removed from that segment.)</li>
<li>Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled check-in time. Please do not be late, stylists cannot wait &ndash; they will need to leave to go to the next store.</li>
<li>If you like the outfit, then consider purchasing it. Many of the stores are offering discounts &ndash; and they are doing us a very special service by supporting the Harker Fashion Show.</li>
<li>Please remember that the clothes selected for you are what the stylists feel is required for that specific segment &ndash; matching others in the same segment. The stylists are all experienced and have worked in many school and professional shows. Please have a positive attitude.</li>
<li>Please go out of your way to be kind to the store employees and thank the store, manager, and if possible, the store owner. They really are going through a lot of trouble to help us put on this show. Let's show appreciation! And remember &ndash; you can purchase the outfit if you like it!!</li>
