MICHIGAMME -- More than 150 people came to see the third annual Paint the Town Pink Fashion Show in Michigamme.

Lunch was served and there was a raffle and auction. Health vendors talked about cancer prevention. Each of the fashion show models had been personally affected by cancer.

"I'm here to show people my strength and hope, share with them that if you have a can-do attitude, anything can happen. You have to have a positive attitude and push through," said Rebecca Krook, a cancer survivor.

Funds from the event support the Marquette County Cancer Care, a non-profit organization which helps cancer patients.
