KELLOGG - After a slight hiatus, Crazy Days are back in Kellogg again and scheduled to run July 31 through Aug. 2. For years, local businesses and merchants joined together for a large annual sidewalk sale to showcase their products and the best the community had to offer. Thanks to Shoshone Glass co-owner Lorie Sawyer spearheading an effort to revive the tradition, Crazy Days are now back in full swing with over 20 businesses already looking to participate in this year's beach themed event.

"I just wanted to let people and businesses know that Crazy Days are back and we are having businesses participate from all over town this time," Sawyer said. "We've gotten a lot of good response in support."

But Crazy Days is not just about merchants selling products, as many local groups will be putting on different activities for the community. For example, Sawyer said Crazy Hearts Tattoo Shop will be doing children's face painting, the local State Farm Insurance office will be holding a bike rodeo and safety demonstration, and the Kellogg High School cheerleading squad will be selling ice cream.

"I'm excited, because I think it's going to be just like it was back in the good old days," Sawyer added.
