Assemblywoman Addie Russell announces the 3rd Annual North Country Department Store

Assemblywoman Addie Russell (D-Theresa) announced that the 3rd Annual North Country Department Store will be held on Saturday November 2nd from 10am to 4pm at the Indian River Middle School.  The department store showcases locally made and available products by artisans, farmers, antique dealers, and craftspeople. 

“I am very pleased that in this third year, we have approximately 80 vendors with wonderful products for sale that are locally made and sold,” said Assemblywoman Russell.  “I hope everyone comes out to do their holiday shopping and support local businesses.”

There is no admission but donations will be accepted and proceeds from the event will go entirely to the Indian River FFA and to Noah’s Ark Preschool, Redwood. 

“Buying local grows our economy,” said Assemblywoman Russell.  “What a terrific way to do your holiday shopping and support businesses in your backyard.”  The Department Store is part of Assemblywoman Russell’s Rediscovering Your Backyard initiative.  She holds a Wedding Expo in Ogdensburg in the winter and a Business Expo in Cape Vincent in the spring.
