Red’s Bar’s 20-Year Christmas Tradition Helps Local Family

When something has been happening for twenty years I think we can go ahead and call it a 'tradition'. Some traditions are so awesome that they have to keep going. This year is no exception. We have been witness to some amazing acts of generosity with a couple traditions over the past few weeks.

With our annual 'KYSSMAS for Kids' event there will be over a thousand kids that will be able to go shopping this holiday season because of our community's generosity. Here is another chance for Missoula to be part of a tradition and this is a 'win-win' for everyone.

Red's Bar, located on Ryman street in Downtown Missoula, is holding their annual Christmas charity wrapping event. If you have issues wrapping presents, like I do, then this event is for you.

For the past twenty years the 'elves' at Red's Bar have been wrapping presents big and small, and all they ask in return is a donation. The donations then go to a deserving person or organization. This year the 'elves' will be helping out a local 5-year old boy who is facing some very serious medical challenges. His family is also facing some major medical bills that come along with situations like this.

The Christmas wrapping event will start on December 19th, from 2 pm to 9 pm. It will run December 20th through December 23rd, from 10 am- 5 pm. For last-minute shoppers, wrapping will be available on Christmas Eve, from 10 am- 5 pm. Just bring your unwrapped presents down to Red's Bar and they will do the rest. You can drop off your presents, continue to shop, and pick them up later.

Take advantage of this opportunity to have your packages beautifully wrapped and help out a local family too. It really is a 'win-win' this holiday season.
