Assemblywoman Addie Russell announced today that the 4th
Annual North Country Department Store will be held this coming Saturday November 1st
at the Indian River Middle School in Philadelphia. The hours are from 10am to 4pm. Over 80 vendors,
artisans, farmers, and producers from around the North Country will be selling
their wares at this yearly event.
“The purpose of this event is to showcase the many products
and services available right here in our own backyard,” said Assemblywoman
Russell. “The event encourages people to
buy local and by doing so, it provides an injection into our local economy.”
Russell said that the event is always held in early November so people can get an early start on their holiday shopping.
This year, there will be drawings for special gifts donated
by a number of vendors. Proceeds from
the event will go entirely to Noah’s Ark Preschool and the Indian River FFA.
