GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) – Red Suspenders Days received quite a surprise from Welch Workwear.

Curious about their suspenders, a volunteer working with the Chamber of Commerce, contacted the company with multiple inquiries. After some exchanges, Welch Workwear decided to donate something special to the Chamber in honor of Red Suspenders Day - 100 pairs of Red Suspenders!

Welch Workwear, out of Oregon, has had a love for making suspenders since founder Fred Welch started the business in 1967. Their website shares the story of the family-owned business and even features a “Suspender History” at welchworkewear.com. Today, they are partnered with Kinco, but continue to make the “strongest suspenders on the market” and pride themselves on unmatched quality made in the USA.

The Welch Red Suspenders are sure to become a Red Suspenders Day classic. They have been printed with the text “Red Suspenders Days, Gridley CA” and will be on sale to the public Saturday, May 15^th at Red Suspenders Days for $15.00! Do not forget your 2021 60^th Anniversary “Celebrating Our Youth” Red Suspenders Day commemorative T-Shirt designed and made by Mrs. B Designs!
