KELLOGG — Shop Small in the Silver Valley kicked off this past weekend with the Chamber of Commerce’s annual Winter Evening Market. 

“The goal of the Shop Small cards is to encourage people to shop locally for gifts this holiday season and promote our small locally owned businesses,” said chamber events coordinator Braden Thomas.

The market gave local vendors and business owners a chance to show people a small offering of what they can provide, including custom clothing, jellies and jams, blankets, pottery and floral designs. 

Set between the Kellogg Elks and the Kellogg Senior Center, uptown Kellogg went from Halloween and fall to full-tilt Christmas over the course of an afternoon.

“We had Santa, a cookie decorating station and a hot cocoa bar. It was a great time for everyone," Thomas said.

Thirteen businesses are participating in the Chamber’s Shop Small promotion, which runs from now until New Year’s Eve. They include Muchachos Tacos, The Beanery, the Fainting Goat, Nocturn, Positive Practice, Jim’s Towing & Auto Repair, Valley Violets, Albertini’s Gem Bar, Kellogg Plastics, The Fox and The Hare Mountain Wear, Idaho Haven, Kellogg Ace Hardware and Mo’s Froyo & Joe. Each business is featured on a small card that has a special discount for customers.  

These cards can be picked up at the chamber office or any participating businesses.  

“Supporting local and small businesses is crucial for communities like ours,” Thomas said.
