PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — Pinellas County kids will run a Kids Market on Saturday to raise money for hurricane relief.

Almost 20 children, ages 6-18, will run booths selling baked goods and homemade jewelry and crafts. The money collected will go to Convoy of Hope’s hurricane relief efforts.

The kids market is the brainchild of 9-year-old Megan Lardner and her mother, Brandice.

Megan’s teacher lost her house to the hurricanes. Her mother felt like focusing on helping others would be the best way to address the sadness so many were feeling.

“As an adult, when things happen that affect those around us or worldwide, I often don’t know what to do with my emotions about them,” Brandice Lardner said. “One of the best things to do is serve those in need.”

Megan, who has previously raised money for the Humane Society, baked cookies and made bracelets for the kids market.

“I think it’s fun (to make the bracelets). But I think the more fun part is getting to see people’s faces when they get them,” Megan said.

The kids market will happen at Grace Family Church (1199 East Bay Drive in Largo) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov 9.
