Moji Sherman likes to fish.
And over the years, people have given him lures … so many that he couldn’t use them all.
So when the Young Entrepreneur’s Market, an effort by the Downtown Mocksville Collaborative was announced, he got to thinking.
Actually, it was the family’s cat, Biscuit, who liked the feathers and other features of the lures.
So Moji took some of the lures, removed the hooks, tied fishing line to a wooden stick and the hookless lure on the other.
It made Biscuit happy.
And on Saturday, he was among the dozens of young entreprenuers selling their wares at the market.
With father Jin Sherman looking on from the middle, Moji’s brother Benji was at a table nearby, selling 3D printed and Pokeman items. He had already sold some items at school.
“A lot of people have told me that I’m a really good salesman,” he said, while asking customers if they needed any help.
The young people at the market sold all types of things, from Girl Scout cookies to jewelry, from hand-make crafts to plants.
Sarah Foster was there selling flower and herb plants, a natural progression for a young woman whose family operated Rufty’s Garden Shop in Salisbury. She sells plants from their home in Cleveland, NC, now.
“We moved Rufty’s to our house with a self-serve stand,” she said. Check them out on Facebook or call 704-433-1764 to see what is available and arrange for payments and plant pickups.
