We have a new project we are going to try to turn into an annual tradition and hope some of you will join us. We will be collecting NEW ADULT SIZE sleeping bags for the homeless in and around our neighborhood. This is going on now through December 24th. For each sleeping bag you donate you will be entered into a drawing for a $200 gift certificate to Astro-Zombies. The winner will be chosen in-store December 24th and does not need to be present to win. We really hope some of you will take the time to get involved with this project. If you have any questions or need more info please call or email us.
