Some Bridgeport models held a photo shoot Sunday to help promote positivity in the city.

The Faces of Beauty Model Team appeared at the Metric Bar and Grill for an event called "Shop Downtown Bridgeport."

Organizer Wayne Winston says with COVID-19 keeping business owners on edge, it's important to get people out and about and spending money in their own community.

He says Labor Day weekend and the end of summer is a great time for local residents to explore their city and discover new places to shop and dine.
