If you are a model living in or near Springfield Illinois, this could be fun!

Open modeling tryouts for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum's "Fashion Knight at the Museum" will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at The Wardrobe, 830 South Grand Ave. W.

Women sizes 0 through 2 are needed to model clothing during the July 28 "Fashion Knight," a past-to-present comparison between Mary Todd Lincoln's trend-setting fashions and today's styles, including those of fashion designer Mychael Knight of "Project Runway."

Staff from The Wardrobe will make the final selections and notify the models that are chosen.

For more information on the tryouts, call 528-5785.
