Coming Soon: 1200 Block Pop-Up Emporium – A Holiday Celebration of Local Craftsmanship

Alamogordo, NM — This holiday season, the heart of downtown Alamogordo will come alive with creativity, community, and festive spirit as the 1200 Block Pop-Up Emporium opens its doors from November 28th to December 24th. Located at the corner of 12th Street and New York Avenue, directly across from Wells Fargo, this seasonal marketplace will showcase the talents of local crafters, artisans, and makers from across Otero County.

A collaborative effort between Our Little Country Store and the revitalization efforts of the Block12 District, the Pop-Up Emporium is designed to support small businesses and celebrate the unique artistry of Southern New Mexico. From handmade crafts and textiles, and gourmet dog treats, shoppers will find one-of-a-kind gifts while supporting local entrepreneurs.

Marketing and promotional support for the project is provided by 2nd Life Media Inc, the independent media company behind AlamogordoTownNews.org, KRAZY KALHRadio.org, and Block12.org. Their platforms will feature vendor spotlights, behind-the-scenes stories, and live coverage throughout the season to help connect the community with the creators behind the crafts.

“This is more than a market—it’s a celebration of local talent and a chance to shop with purpose,” said Cindy Nowaczck curator and owner of Our Little Country Store.” We’re proud to support a pop up that brings neighbors and small business entereprenuers together and keeps holiday dollars right here in Alamogordo.”

The 1200 Block Pop-Up Emporium is part of a broader effort to revitalize the 1200 Block Arts & Cultural District, which includes galleries, performance spaces, and historic storefronts. With festive décor, live music, and community programming planned to include Christmas on MainStreet, the 1200 Block Emporium and Our Little Country Store promises to be a destination for holiday cheer and local pride.
