SPRINGFIELD, Ore. -- Summer means garage sales and flea markets. But instead of shopping with their parents, children in Springfield are selling their own stuff.

About 120 kids sold or traded their old books, Halloween costumes, games, clothes, and more.

It's the 5th Annual Kids' Flea Market, a way for the Springfield Library to encourage kids to stop by the library for their summer reading. Some kids are happy to make a little summer money, too.

"Really, I have nothing better to do with it, but I just wanted to make some money on the side this summer," said Misha Offeibucher.

"They can do their own bartering, own bargaining, set their own prices, make their own change. This is a popular event. It's easy for kids to participate in," said Springfield Library Manager Barbara Thompson.

Not every kid was looking to make the big bucks. This one was practically giving his stuff away, just 10 cents a piece.

The Kids of Mud cycling series wrapped up with the fourth and final race this past weekend, and the Portage Junkyard Dogs team secured five first overall finishes in the standings and several more high placings.

"I'm so proud of everyone that participated this year," said head coach Dave Stanley. "Everyone really pushed it. There was nobody slacking off in the races, and all you can ask as a coach is that everybody gives their best. It was really impressive."

Kids of Mud Race #4 took place at the JYD-maintained Birch Ski Area course near Roseisle on Sunday, and a few local riders made up some ground in the standings on the final day.

One of those was Jenna Shackleton, who won the U15 female race by nearly three minutes to leapfrog her way to the top of the standings.
