About The
Hunt Family Business
Our Family run business began
with "Small World
Collectibles" in 1993. We purchased
an existing year-round Christmas store in 1994
and named it "Sunriver's
Christmas Village". In 1996
we expanded our animation department into our
third store,
"Celebration of Animation". The
three shops were all started In Sunriver, Oregon
and have since relocated into nearby Bend,
Oregon in March of 2000. Our Bend Store offers
over 2000 square feet of retail space where we
are open 7 days a week. The
"back-room" houses our shipping and
receiving department, warehouse and offices
where we produce and manage this website!
The
Small World's Main Street Emporium
concept came to us
from the way the stores developed and were added
through the years. The idea came to light while
spending time in southern California at
Disneyland. Walking down main street, going in
one store and out another, it came to us that we
liked the way each store had it's own look, yet
all under one roof. Since we started with Small
World Collectibles it grew into
Small World's Main Street Emporium!

As the years go by the kids
get bigger, one by one they have all learned to
help our customers, but now they all have lives
of their own and doing very well! My oldest is
now married, teaching high school mathematics,
coaching ball and continues learning more
everyday. The middle child continues his
education in life and uses his communication
skill in the hospitality industry and is very
serious about his golf game! My youngest is
settling down and is studying hard for her
nursing program, but she's still daddy's little
girl and always will be and that's all that
matters to me!
So now it's just me and I
still enjoy what I do and most the time it
shows. I'd love to help you some time and hope
you can enjoy my business as much
as we have over the years!
Thanks again,
Rod Hunt |
