A giant pop-up market brought energy and entrepreneurship to the campus of Harding University Friday afternoon, as students gathered to sell clothing, accessories, and other items as part of a campus fundraiser.
The event featured student-run booths offering a variety of merchandise, giving participants a chance to raise funds while showcasing creativity and business skills. Organizers say the pop-up market not only supported fundraising goals but also created a vibrant, community-focused atmosphere on campus.
