Tinker & Makes

08/12/2026

We’re proud to carry so many talented makers and small businesses from across Minnesota, Wisconsin & Iowa.💛

Small business hasn’t always been easy, and we know how much heart, time, and hard work goes into every little thing you see on our shelves.

Getting to support these makers—and having you support them through us—is something we’re truly grateful for. Thank you for shopping small and helping keep these creative businesses going.

Tomorrow, we’re excited to open up even more ways for you to discover, shop, and support these amazing makers & small businesses. Our website launches tomorrow!

Fall for Harmony is coming up in September! Put it on your calendar and make plans to come shop Harmony small businesses and fun activities!💛

Harmony businesses!

Fall for Harmony is coming up on Saturday, September 19, and we'd love to help promote everything happening around town!

Last year was a fantastic day filled with pop-ups, sidewalk sales, special promotions, and fun activities throughout Harmony. This year, the Harmony Arts Board will once again host Art on the Green Maker's Market, and ECFE and the Harmony Public Library will be offering a family-friendly craft and play event at the Visitor Center.

If your business is planning a sale, pop-up, demonstration, special event, extended hours, or any other promotion for the day, we'd love to include it on our community event poster and in our marketing efforts.

Please send us your plans by Friday, August 21, so we can help spread the word and encourage visitors to make a day of shopping, dining, and exploring Harmony.

We can't wait to hear what you have planned!
