'Christmas for Camo Expo' tomorrow
The second annual "Christmas for Camo Expo" takes place from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Wasilla Middle School, admission
is free, and organizers are hoping to top last year's
$10,000-plus raised last year to benefit Hope for Heroes, a
non-profit corporation dedicated to raising money and collecting
gifts throughout the year through various fundraisers and
donations to give deserving military families past and present a
beautiful Christmas!And not just Christmas. Hope for Heroes also provides assistance and support to military families and our Troops during deployments, and throughout the year. Last year58 Mat-Su families benefitted from their efforts.
Over 60 local crafters and artisans will have booths at tomorrow's event, there'll be music, door prizes and the chance to shop 'til you drop. Everything you need to decorate for Christmas will be available, as well as gifts for everyone on your list.
There'll even be live NFWA wresting at 4:30 p.m. as Steele takes on Adams in an epic, earthshaking bout!
Donations of care package items, simple things such as warm gloves and matching hats, personal hygiene items, warm socks ... the little things most take for granted but can't live without, are most welcome; wrap them in festive colors and drop them off at the Christmas for Camo Expo Tree of Hope!
