Kids will be buying and selling on Saturday, July 25, as the National City 2nd Street Market will host Kids Day.

It will be the second year the vendors at the market turn over their tables to their grandchildren, children or young relatives, said Peggy Collins, program coordinator for Dayton MetroParks.

The children already help their family members by unloading trucks and taking money from customers, Collins said.

“These kids and grandkids are a tremendous help,” Collins said. “You see them unload trucks and sell products and are right in the thick of it. So we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if those kids had their own market geared towards kids.’ ”

The children will set up their tables in the pavilion and sell kid-size loaves of bread, flowers and other items. They will be kid-priced as well.

Adults are also welcome, Collins said.

Also available for sale that day will be produce grown by teenagers in the MetroParks CityBeets teen program.

Children also can visit with farm animals from Possum Creek.

New this year will be a cooking demonstration by 8-year-old Larashia, a cook who focuses on healthy eating for kids. She will do a pizza demonstration, Collins said.
