• America250, Philly style: Hats off to Mummers and USA veterans (delcotimes.com) — A longtime costume designer is handcrafting $100 Liberty Beret hats from his Folsom tailor shop, with every dollar going directly to either Mummers Against Cancer or the Chapel of Four Chaplains. The patriotic, Mummers-inspired hats honor America’s 250th anniversary and U.S. veterans, and can be ordered by phone for local pickup, giving Folsom-area residents a creative way to support neighbors facing cancer and homelessness.
