Kick off Black Friday today by shopping to support the youth of Sun Valley.

J.McLaughlin is having a Black Friday Sip & Shop on behalf of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.

The dress shop kitty-corner from Atkinsons’ Market has a new line of winter clothing. And 10 percent of sales between noon and 4 p.m. today—Friday, Nov. 28—will benefit the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.

The Ski Education Foundation serves several hundred youth in the valley with its alpine, snowboard, Nordic, freestyle and Big Mountain programs.

Store Manager Sarah Howe will set out an array of yummy treats and sips and theere’ll be complimentary gift wrapping, as well.

And, it probably wouldn’t hurt if shoppers do a Snow Dance around the table.

COME SATURDAY….

Allison Paige Design is hosting a Pop Up Shop at the other end of the Wood River Valley on Saturday.

You’ll find gift items, antiques, snacks and cheer at this “Shop Small Saturday” event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 29, at 117 S. Main St., Bellevue.
