Kelly Thygeson at TREK

Kelly Thygeson, owner of Tonnabells in beautiful downtown Thief River Falls was the featured speaker at the July TREK. 

Kelly launched her business in the winter of 2020, shortly before the onset of the COVID pandemic. Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, Kelly has grown a vibrant business. In just two and half years, the store has doubled in size.

Tonnabells features a wide variety of products made by area artists and craftspeople. The store’s fast-changing inventory includes oil paintings, photography, jewelry, stained glass, pottery and much more. 

Kelly is a strong advocate for shopping local and works hard to keep products that are sourced locally. Items from local artists are sold on consignment, and the store provides an excellent opportunity for area artists and craftspeople to get their products in front of the public.
