Living Locally: Camp Macy's

This post is sponsored by Everywhere Society; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. 

Have I ever mentioned before just how much I love Macy's? From fun fashion shows to culinary events, they are always hosting something fun while giving back to the community.

Next Sunday, June 14th, Macy's will be hosting a family fun event called Camp Macy's - and it will be held at the Clackamas store here in Oregon, but I know they will be hosting events across the country - so keep your eyes open for one near you!

What is Camp Macy's? It's part of their summer American Icons Campaign, and Camp Macy's will be having all sorts of in-store activities that will bring back camp nostalgia from people of all ages. There will be readings, storytelling, bingo, snacks - as well as crafts to show off your American spirit - refreshments, giveaways and more! 

This camp is all about enjoying family time and summer activities - and I just love how Macy's is bringing families together for these events to create lasting memories!

The event begins at 2:00 pm - and while you're there, take a few photos and use the hashtag #AmericanSelfies - Macy's is donating $1 for each hashtag (up to $250K ) to support American Veteran's with Got You 6. A handful of winners will be selected for a spectacular moment in the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks show on NBC!

Hope to see you there!

Living Locally: Macy's American Icons

I am a member of the Everywhere Society and Everywhere has provided me with compensation for this post. However, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.  

You're invited! If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, Macy's is hosting a party this Saturday at their Washington Square location at 2PM, and you are invited to join for some in-store excitement! As part of Macy's salute to all things that make us proud to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, you can discover everything you need to put together a timeless all-American ensemble at a fashion party hosted by Grasie Mercedes of StyleMeGrasie. You can join Grasie for a special fashion show celebrating iconic style from some of everyone's favorite American designers! Afterwards you can meet Grasie, shop the latest collections for spring, jam to a live DJ, and enjoy complimentary sips and sweets!

Macy's is also proud to partner with those who have served our country alongside Got Your 6 - a campaign that unites nonprofit, Hollywood, and government partners. Got Your 6 believes that veterans are leaders, team builders, and problem solvers who have the unique potential to strengthen communities across the country.Through nonprofit and government partners, Got Your 6 ensures successful veteran reintegration and empowers veterans to lead here at home. Together, Got Your 6 and its partners are shifting public perceptions so that veterans’ leadership and skills are recognized and utilized at home to strengthen communities. Got Your 6 means "got your back" in the military - and it's nice that here in America we have campaigns that do so.

So if you are in the area and would like to join in on the fun with an afternoon of American fashion, food, music and more - RVSP online to this FREE event! Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot at: AmericanIconsWashingtonSquare.eventbrite.com
