ToyLand: A Theatrical Toys for Tots Fundraiser
Truly a night for living dolls, the second annual ToyLand fundraiser will take place at House of Loom on Saturday, December 17th. Kicking off with a family-friendly Build-a-Gift Workshop at 4 p.m., kids will have a ball while meeting Marines in the cupcake decorating parlor and visiting the hot chocolate bar (suggested cash/toy donation).
From 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., the ToyLand cocktail reception will begin, which includes a fashion show showcasing styles from several local designers and theatrical performances ($10 admission/$5 with toy donation). Closing the evening will be a ToyLand-themed dance party starting at 10 p. (https://ausoma.org/) m., featuring music from Grammy-nominated producer Josh One alongside DJ Brent Crampton ($5 admission/free with toy donation).
All proceeds from this event will go to Nebraska Toys for Tots, so be sure attend to support this worthy cause. For all the details on this event, visit houseofloom.com. House of Loom is located at 1012 South 10th Street in Omaha.
