As we enter the season of giving, we are excited to announce our 18th Annual Holiday Drive: Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree, taking place on December 7th, 4-7pm at our Millersville location: 8057 Veterans Hwy, Millersville, MD 21108. This joyous holiday event also sponsored by our industry partners, Trex, Yellawood, Culpeper, and Snavely Forest Products, will directly benefit the Blue Ribbon Project. This Annapolis-based organization offers several programs directly serving children who are the victims of child abuse and neglect. as well as adult survivors of child abuse. Admission to our Holiday Drive is completely free, although we will be collecting new children’s toys and clothing items (new with tags) at the entrance. Currently, the Blue Ribbon Project’s greatest needs are infant boy’s clothing, pants with elastic bands and no fleece pajamas for toddlers and kids to adult sizes, sippy cups, and bottles. Donations are highly recommended and will directly support local children in need during the holiday season.

This beloved community event is the best way to kick off the first weekend of December and get in the holiday spirit! All attendees will be able to receive a FREE photo with Santa, enjoy free sweet treats and hot cocoa from T & J Waffles, and take a ride in our very own Polar Express. Guests will also enjoy our outdoor rock n’ roll roller rink, moon bounce, disco car ride, face painting, crafts, and more! Bring your dancing shoes and jingle bells to sing along to holiday classics with a rock n’ roll twist and watch performances by the Archbishop Spalding High School Dance Team!
