Jingle Bash Music!

Etsy Dallas is proud to announce the Jingle Bash music crew:

Nathan Jones is a seasoned musician playing in bands since 1997 going across the board with genres and instruments. He is now going towards uncharted territory as a solo artist hoping to bring his life lessons and history to the ears of many.

Mc Bammer is our karaoke specialist from 8-10pm in the upstairs ballroom. Bammer is an artist, photographer, and my favorite: she loves to decorate cakes.

DJ Jappy X is the mix master extraordinaire, mixin' with the best of em! Let's get jiggy with him, because he is our second floor DJ. Word!

Get your glue guns ready... Etsy Dallas is proud to announce that we'll have another fabulous Make & Take table at the upcoming Jingle Bash. Irving Girl Scout troop 1637 has volunteered to help the fearless crafters of Dallas partake in two organized crafts from 3-5 pm. Jingle Bash attendees will have the opportunity to decorate a glass ornament or bling up a ring with an endless supply of crafty bits and sparkles, all for FREE!

Please consider helping the community while you craft! Our favorite Girl Scout troop will be collecting non-perishable food items for their holiday food drive, so please bring a few cans of food to help them exceed their goal! Etsy Dallas will match food donations with a cash donation, so come get your craft on and help the needy in our community.

Food drive benefits Irving Cares' food pantry.
