Need a new mattress? Distributive Education Clubs of America students will hold their sixth annual fundraiser Nov. 9. Come out and shop for a new mattress in a no-pressure environment and with better-than-retail prices. The showroom will display the latest in adjustable bed frames and mattresses in every size, luxury pillows, sheets and even bean bag chairs that convert into youth beds.

Friendly and knowledgeable assistants will answer all your questions. This is a great way to support local DECA students and get better sleep!

Stop by the NAHS auditorium 10 a.m.-5 p.m. There will be a 25-plus-bed showroom filled with all sizes and styles. Name brands like Simmons Beautyrest, Malouf and Symbol are available for up to 50 percent off retail prices.

Watch for area yard signs and for the few lucky NAHS kids who get to wear the mattress suit while promoting the sale to passers-by.
