PLYMOUTH — Seven young entrepreneurs will be displaying their creativity this weekend at Village Roots.
The monthly-marketplace is hosting its third annual Mini Makers Market on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in downtown Plymouth at 7 E. Main St.
Local youth will be showcasing their handmade products and creative projects.
“We love supporting young entrepreneurs and look forward to seeing their creativity,” said Katie Veletean, co-owner of Village Roots.
A variety of handmade goods will be offered, including arts, crafts, baked goods, jewelry and accessories, soaps and more.
Mimi’s Sugar Babes will be on-site all day with fresh donuts and coffee. The Gourmet Farm Girl will be offering samples of homemade chilis, soups and gourmet oil/vinegar.
Folks will also have a chance to order personalized ornaments from Finishing Touch by JsH, who will be working on-site Saturday and taking orders.
“This market is a collaboration with the Plymouth Area Historical Society and an initiative to spark entrepreneurship in kids,” Veletean said. “Help us celebrate and support the next generation of local business owners.”
