Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop Celebrates “Christmas in July”

The dedicated member volunteers at Assistance League^® Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, located at 3521 Golden Gate Way in Lafayette, question the adage that “Christmas comes but once a year.” At this writing, they are hastily preparing for the annual “Christmas in July” event, slated to begin on Tuesday, July 18 and conclude on Saturday, July 29. These red-smocked summertime elves are organizing “sleighsful” of Christmas inventory that again promise to bring a festive holiday look to your home.

Picture such accoutrements as wreaths, garlands enhanced with lights, many of them never used, as well as angels, Santas and elves adorning your hearth. An eye-catching selection of tree ornaments, as well as such collectibles as Boyd’s Bears and Santa & Friends, promise to enrich your holiday memories.

As tradition would have it, the bountiful treasures disappear as quickly as Santa when ascending the chimney; so please plan accordingly. Likewise, a return visit to achieve that finishing touch might be appropriate. By attending the “Christmas in July” event, you can avoid the frenzied holiday crowds and create a holiday ambiance that exudes joy and harmony.
