Haute Trash presented “Waste of the Nation” at Wild Eye Pub!

This year marks 25 years since Haute Trash performed at the inaugural local Nevada County Earth Day event in 1990 at Bridgeport. In addition to the glorious trash fashions we unveiled on that memorable, misty spring day on the shores of the South Yuba, the enthusiastic audience was treated to music, environmental booths, and words of wisdom from beloved local luminaries Utah Philips and Gary Snyder.

A nonprofit since 2006, over the years Haute Trash has participated in many of the area’s Earth Day events in local parks, and later, at several Earth Day events at Wild Eye Pub. The Pub was delighted to welcome us back, as crusaders of recycling, modeling the good gospel: don’t throw it out, wear it out!

Master of Ceremonies Kenny Miele did the honors of describing our tantalizing runway show. Kenny’s been keeping it real with Haute Trash since the late 1980s! Big thanks to Wild Eye Pub for holding down this awesome venue in our community!
