This writer was still an Oregon resident when the mass shooting of 10/6/2017 took place at Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. I was visiting Las Vegas when the horrific events unfolded. What I witnessed was a community that immediately came together to assist first responders, victims, their families, and all who were traumatized by the news. When the worst things imaginable bring out the best in a city, you know it's a special place. Now that I'm a resident, it's a joyful feeling to witness that generous spirit on display over and over. Las Vegas locals are a proud people. This weekend, they lend their hearts, talent, and energies to helping a sister community. Anthony DeFelice of Summer Communications explains:

"In response to the wildfires in Los Angeles, over 10 small businesses and vendors will band together to host a community garage sale at The Good Wolf (1319 S. Commerce St) on Saturday, February 8, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participation fees and a portion of the event proceeds will be donated directly to Vegas Strong LA Fire Relief, a local organization dedicated to supporting wildfire victims in Southern California."

"Vendors for the Garage Sale include Fredric Alexander, Mndpwrs, Akin Cooperative, and more. Vegas Strong: L.A. Fire Relief is a community-led and driven initiative that supports individuals and families affected by the recent Los Angeles wildfires. Spearheaded by local resident Mandy White Eskelin, the initiative mobilized Las Vegas locals to gather essential supplies and monetary donations for those impacted by the fires."

The Good Wolf Lifestyle Co. is a Men’s & Women’s Lifestyle Shop in the Las Vegas arts district. Having recently celebrated their 5th year in business, they have become known for excellent service, superior product curation, and a destination for tasteful gifts.
