Christmas In July Boutique Bash This Weekend

Whatever Ministry’s annual Christmas in July Boutique Bash is being held today and tomorrow at The Grounds in West Mobile. The ministry’s event is intended to aid participants in getting a head start on Christmas shopping with more than 100 vendors. There will also be food trucks, photos with Santa, giveaways and more. Promoting “a stroller-free, husband-free and stress-free shopping time as you shop with your gals,” Whatever Ministry uses the fundraiser to support its mission to “empower young girls and women by helping them find their true beauty, value and purpose.” General admission is $5, and the Girls Night Out event at 6-9 p.m. on July 23 costs $15.
