Holiday shoppers will have the opportunity to buy wares shaped, crafted and fashioned by local young entrepreneurs Saturday.
From self-care items such as bath scrubs and homemade soaps to crafty crocheted animals and baked goods, the sale will offer a medley of products all made by kids ages 12 to 18.
The offerings available are unique to each creator. Elyse Hammann, a junior at Bishop Seabury Academy, will be selling oil paintings, stickers, pins and keychains; Phoebe Ulbrick will sell jewelry, baked goods, and drawings, among other items.
The Lit & Local winter edition is a spinoff of Sunrise’s Lit & Local events, which launched in 2018 in order to provide a platform for youth entrepreneurs to showcase and sell their creations.
The event is set for 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3 at Cider Gallery, 810 Pennsylvania St.
Sunrise Project’s Facebook feed features some of the products that will be available for sale at the market.

Advocate hopes Kansas governor grants clemency in murder of rapist, but holds back optimism
Dave Ranney says few people disagree with his assertion that Gov. Laura Kelly should grant clemency to Sarah Gonzales-McLinn, who slit her rapist’s throat in 2014. But when he hears opposition, he asks, “Why don’t you tell me what you think was going on in that house?”
