We all agree that living here, in the greater Coeur d'Alene region, is a special blessing. Aside from the natural beauty, there is something bordering on magic and while difficult to define, we all know that we are beyond fortunate to be a member of this community.
This blessing is only available to us because of the locally owned businesses that have risked everything to support our community. In all truth, locally owned small businesses are the backbone of our community. Without them, we would not be able to live here. It's that simple.
This Fest celebrates our small businesses and allows us to meet them face to face and discover what they offer by way of commerce. Attendees from the past were pleased to meet so many businesses that they didn't know existed and have since become regular customers.
During this five hour Fest, come and enjoy the food and music in a festive environment and see first hand what these vendors have to offer, many of which may be the source of that special something for Christmas either by way of gift or service.
Super One will be providing five $100 gift certificates for a drawing and each of the 70 or so vendors will be providing a drawing worth at least $75. That's 80 chances to win.
The event will be held at the Silver Lake Mall (Black Sheep) on the east end where "DISH" used to be located. Park and enter on the south side.
The event is free to attend
Doors open at 10am and ends at 3pm
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO FINANCING OUR MISSION
Choose Local INW, Inc is an organization dedicated to keeping our money in our community, strengthening our local economy, providing more jobs and preserving the joy of living here now and for future generations.
Some of our projects include: developing local online shopping, same day delivery, an online local business directory, community calendar of events and a monthly Choose Local E-Magazine.
Our most adventurous venture is to survey our Kootenai County communities to discover what commerce is lacking and then working with entrepreneurs who can provide those services, thereby keeping more money in our community, providing more jobs and strengthening our local economies.
Your support of these projects starts by enjoying your time getting to know our locally owned businesses at this event and catching the spirit of making our mountain paradise an even better place to live.
Come for the fun and leave with the love and vision of our mission.
