Holiday market in Liberty highlights young entrepreneur
LIBERTY Vendors, holiday treats and other activities were on display in Liberty on November 15, 2025, during the "Wrap It Up! Holiday Market."
The event took place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and was a chance for community members to search for a special gift ahead of the holidays.
One young entrepreneur was spotlighted during the holiday market.
Nearly nine-year-old Amado Brown set up shop at the market, selling T-shirts that he makes himself through a computer program.
"I taught him some online software to keep him busy. He started making his own t-shirts [and] people loved them," said Edward Brown, Amado's father.
Edward says that the family started selling Amado's t-shirt designs on Etsy and things have only grown from there.
As a child with ADHD, he has found a way to connect with adults with ADHD through his designs.
"People love the shirts. They laugh, they giggle. There [are] a lot of people, especially that are older [who] say 'Hey, I have ADHD, I was just a bad kid when I was younger' and they share stories," said Edward.
Edward went on to say that seeing others with ADHD and hearing their stories helps Amado feel not so alone.
"There are so many other people that are like him," said Edward.
The event was sponsored by SunNSandSales Boutique, an organization started by Lori Wilson and her husband.
"Me and my husband started this venture because we both became empty nesters this year... so we decided that we would like to host a holiday market for our local vendors and our local crafters," said Lori Wilson, Owner of SunNSandSales Boutique and online shopping market.
Wilson went on to say that the event aimed to bring local makers together to support not only each other but the community at large.
"It just kind of helps everyone in our area support our community," said Wilson.
