The Kitchen Gallery, once nestled into the 1200 block of Williamson St., relocated this month. The more prominent space on King St. includes room for cooking classes, and was acquired with a 24-hour fundraising feat.

"We wanted to stay as close to the near east side as possible, but we needed more visibility," store manager Stephanie Kessenich said. "Being this close to the farmer’s market is a big plus."

Beth Crawford, long time near east side resident, came to the new King St. location on Saturday, looking for Middle Eastern cookie molds. She was sad to see the store move, but realized the more visible location and larger space was necessary.

"The new store is beautiful," she said.

An online auction is being held later this month in which all proceeds will benefit the nonprofit organization Dane Buy Local.

The mission of Dane Buy Local is to support local businesses within the community while raising awareness of the importance of buying locally.

DANE Exclusive Deals will use Facebook and SMS text message tools to host a Bid-A-Thon, an online auction, Sept. 24-30.

Participants will have the opportunity to bid on more than 250 gift cards and prizes from various local businesses. Bidders will be able to track bidding activity on items through text alerts right to their phone. This can be done from any mobile phone with premium text message capabilities. For more information, text AUCTION to 30364.
