On Saturday, the Lassiter Band wants to sell you a mattress to help raise money for its participation in the 2019 Tournament of Roses Parade (previous East Cobb News post here).

The mattress sale takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the band room at Lassiter (2601 Shallowford Road). They’ll be selling name-brand mattresses at a discount and will deliver. For details text the word “Lassiter” to 678-999-7278.

This will be the 130th Tournament of Roses parade and the fifth appearance for the Lassiter Band, which is sending 250 students, educators and others to Pasadena, Calif. for the New Year’s Day event.

Here’s more about related fundraising efforts for the trip, sent to us by Lassiter Band mom Sharon Renaud, who also submitted the photo above:

The Lassiter Band also is selling raffle tickets for chances to win a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport 4×4. The drawing will be held Nov. 17.
