The fashion show that was set to take place Thursday as part of Cameron Village's GrooveFest has been canceled. Part of the reason for the cancellation, it turns out, has to do with the sorority sisters who were to be the models in the show. They are on some sort of H1N1 flu virus lock-down.

But there's still plenty of fashion fun happening this week at Cameron Village. The merchants and employees are supposed to be dressed up all week in their favorite fashion from the 1960s.

Public health Director Gayle Harris has two words for anyone feeling flu-ey.

"Stay home."

As of this morning, Durham County has had only one confirmed case of the so-called "swine flu" — now more scientifically called "Novel H1N1 flu" — but the stuff is out there along with various other manifestations of the cruds. And Harris said her department is getting lots of calls from doctors seeing "novel" symptoms like nausea and diarrhea along with the usual aches and fever.
