For this annual event, beloved Drag Queens Anita, Dixie & Diana will join for a reading of The Christmas Truck by local author Bradley Blankenship and other holiday stories!

This event will also mark the celebration of the annual Wishing Tree. Beginning December 1 and running through the end of December, customers are welcome to donate a new book purchased from Women & Children First to a child in need whose name is decorating a star on the Wishing Tree, which will be on display in the front window.

Women & Children First’s goal is to put diverse books in the hands of area elementary school kids through the amazing literacy program, SitStayRead. For this event, representatives from SitStayRead along with Certified Reading Assistance Dogs will be in attendance to talk about the organization and the work that they do.
