Walker Furniture will become the exclusive Las Vegas retailer for Donny Osmond Home brand furnishings. The grand opening for the gallery will be held on May 7 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. with Osmond doing a personal meet-and-greet autograph-signing session for fans from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., following the ribbon cutting in Walker’s showroom atrium.

“All of us at Walker Furniture are excited about the Donny Osmond Home brand coming to our showroom,” said Larry Alterwitz, CEO of Walker Furniture. “Their family-owned brand and quality comfortable furniture make for a perfect match with our family-run business that has been serving our Las Vegas community since 1955.”

Festivities during the opening will include drawings every 15 minutes for a pair of tickets to the “Donny &Marie” show at the Flamingo Las Vegas. Also, guests can enter for a chance to win a Donny Osmond Home three-drawer accent cabinet made from solid mango wood. Free gifts will be given away and refreshments will be served.

“Debbie and I love calling Las Vegas our second home,” Osmond said, “and Walker Furniture is the perfect setting to showcase our Donny Osmond Home branded collection. We look forward to sharing it with everyone.”
