The North Country Department Store will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Indian River Middle School off Route 11 in Philadelphia.
Representatives from the Indian River Central School FFA and Noah's Ark Preschool will be on hand to assist vendors with setting up as well as packing and moving at the end of the day. Donations from the event support the two organizations.
"There are a wide variety of small businesses in the North Country featuring artisans, craftsmen, specialty foods and services that could all benefit from being a vendor at the show," Assemblywoman Jenne said.
A directory of the businesses is given to each attendee so they can refer to it in the future when they need to find that special gift for a loved one.
The show is well attended and continues Assemblywoman Jenne’s effort to showcase the variety of superb craftsmanship found in the North Country.
Businesses interested in being vendors can email Judy Aldrich at judy@addiejenne.com for details, or call Assemblywoman Jenne's Watertown Office at 315-786-0284 and request an application.
"This is an effort to showcase the many small businesses that provide our North Country with a host of unique products," Assemblywoman Jenne said. "I know there are lots of folks that enjoy hitting the craft show circuit this time of year, and there will be plenty of opportunities at the store to find unique items that will be treasured for years to come."
Would-be vendors that miss the application deadline will be accepted first-come, first-serve, based on space availability.
