Yes, There’s a Market Just for Young Entrepreneurs in Kalamazoo

Did you know that the Kalamazoo Farmer's Market hosts nights just for young entrepreneurs?

I didn't until today thanks to a post in a local Facebook group:

The Kids Markets feature home-grown, hand-made, or repurposed items all created by those 17 years old and younger, according to pfcmarkets.com.

About the Markets:

During the Kids Markets, you'll be able to browse offered products, as you do with any other Farmer's Market, enjoy live music, and more.

They take place during the Kalamazoo Farmer's Market's regularly scheduled Tuesday Markets but, they only happen sporadically.
