Warm up the Valley event generates hundreds of items
This was the haul of warm, winter clothing that was generated during Kellogg High School's Warm up the Valley event last week. Organizer Lori Sawyer sorted it all and counted nearly 1,000 different pieces of clothing that were donated – These items will be donated to local children from Mullan to Cataldo.

KELLOGG –– The Wildcats may have beaten the Miners on the scoreboard, but it was Shoshone County as a whole who won on Thursday night at Kellogg High School’s Warm Up the Silver Valley event.
A first-of-its-kind event, organizer Lori Sawyer, who also coaches the school’s cheerleading program, had seen advertisements for the annual Teddy Bear Toss at the Spokane Chiefs hockey game and thought that it would be fun to bring a similar event to Kellogg – but instead of stuffed animals, to provide warmer clothing for local children.
Not only was it fun, but it was supported beyond Sawyer’s wildest dreams.
