PERRET’S ARMY SURPLUS

Since 1926, Perret’s has been a well-known Army-Navy Surplus Store serving Southern Louisiana. Located in Kenner (a suburb of New Orleans), this third-generation, family-owned business has grown beyond standard Army Surplus supplies. Not only serving the general public, they’re now the premiere dealer of tactical and police uniforms in the area to law enforcement, the chemical industry, and even “Hollywood South” movie productions. (You’ve seen a lot of their products in your favorite TV Shows/Movies). To match their uniforms, you’ll find Railroad Sock’s high-quality, American-Made Crew Work Socks. They’re a bestseller for a reason!

MATILYNN REEDER BENEFIT CAR SHOW

Matilynn Reeder is an adorable 12-year old girl with a rare genetic condition called Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED). The hallmark feature of HED is an inability to sweat, which causes dry/sensitive skin, eczema and sparse hair growth. Matilynn was hospitalized over the summer and to help with the rising costs of medical bills, at the end of October 2025, the Carterville, MO community rallied together to raise money for her upcoming procedures through the 1st Annual Matilynn Reeder Benefit Car Show. 23 Cars in all showed up to display some fancy wheel. Railroad Sock donated a raffle basket of outdoor goodies, including some of our most favorite socks!
