New store lets local artists and crafters sell their creations.
KANE, Sept. 20, 2023 – The Kane Mercantile announced today that it will open its doors at 8 Field Street in Kane. The public is invited to join the grand opening celebration on Friday, October 6, at 6pm.

The celebration will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a children’s art workshop, champagne, smoked treats from J&L Smoking (one of the vendors at the Mercantile), a blessing on the store by Rock Bob (another vendor), and a visit from Percy, the therapy horse from Percy and Pals farm. “I’m taking my small business to the next level,” said Elysia Murillo, age 6, who has been selling her handmade items at craft fairs for the past year. “I started a lemonade stand with my mom,” she explained.

“We did start small,” said Laura DePierre, Elysia’s mom and one of the owners of the Kane Mercantile. “We went to so many craft fairs and saw so many other families and artists struggling, we want to create a space where crafters and makers can actually sell their stuff. It’s for the community.”

The Kane Mercantile will take items made by local artists, crafters, and makers and sell them on a consignment system. Items will include woodworking, paintings, crochet and knit items, holiday-themed clothing and decor, handmade cards, wreaths, and unique items. In addition, “upcycled” items (discarded items reused in a creative way) will be sold. The Kane Mercantile also plans to hold regular events, such as a weekly community dinner and a Lego club, headed by Elysia’s little brother, Benicio Murillo, age 5.

“I’m going to cut the ribbon!” said Benicio.

Kraft Heinz Issues Voluntary Recall of Select Kraft Singles American Processed Cheese Slices

Kraft Heinz is announcing a voluntary recall of approximately 83,800 cases of individually-wrapped Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices that were shipped to a limited number of customers.

The voluntary recall comes as a precaution after a temporary issue developed on one of our wrapping machines, making it possible that a thin strip of the individual film may remain on the slice after the wrapper has been removed. If the film sticks to the slice and is not removed, it could be unpleasant and potentially cause a gagging or choking hazard.

Only Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices with the case/package information below are affected. No other varieties or sizes are included in the recall.
