Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop Celebrates “The West”

The dedicated member volunteers at Assistance League^® Way Side Inn Thrift Shop encourage all to “Go West!”—west on Highway 24, that is, until you reach 3521 Golden Gate Way, in Lafayette. Travel back to times when rugged individualism and the Westward Movement ushered in a new era.

On Tuesday, February 13, at 10 a.m., stake your claim at the annual Pioneer Days and Western Roundup event. This will be a family opportunity. Children will enjoy a selection of toys. Women will find pioneer-fashioned dresses, aprons and bonnets to complete their western wardrobes. Everyone will find such great values as boots, shirts, hats and decorative pieces.

Recently added to the Pioneer Days and Western Round Up event will be an array of Native American jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces and belts. Specifically, Zuni, Navajo and Santo Domingo pieces, boasting a beautiful vintage signed Zuni petit point cuff bracelet, will be a must-see. In addition, a delightful collection of vintage beaded hand crafted folk art will guarantee to enhance the most extensive collection.

THIS JUST IN—nine leather-bound novels written by Louis L’Amour, resplendent with the author’s signature inscribed in gold on the outside cover, have been located and donated to this year’s Pioneer Days and Western Roundup event. How better to celebrate one of our nation’s greatest chapters than through the eyes of this prolific author!
