The Fulton County Juvenile Court will host the second annual "Dream Teens" Fashion/Talent Show and Bazaar Extravaganza September 14 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Fulton County Government Center, 141 Pryor Street, Atlanta.

The "Dream Teens" Fashion Show, which will begin at 1 p.m., showcases young people in the Juvenile Court System modeling fashions from well-known designers.

The event offers the youth an opportunity to build self-esteem and interact positively with parents, staff and peers.

Entertainment will include creative dance, mime, singing, poetry reading and rap. Giveaways will include a special prize for the largest family in attendance.

Other highlights include numerous vendors offering clothing, jewelry, art, health and beauty items, books, and music.

"The BB Babies/D'Marshun Modeling Agency," a nationally acclaimed youth modeling group, will present a second fashion show at 3 p.m.

Proceeds from the event, which is coordinated and produced by Belinda Melvin of the Fulton County Tax Assessor's Office, will benefit the Fulton County Juvenile Justice Fund.
