ESCANABA -- The Escanaba High School gym and hallways were packed Saturday with many shoppers. The baseball team held their sixth annual baseball boosters craft sale.

More than 4,000 people dropped by to support the team and buy handmade items. There were 125 vendors selling just about everything, from winter apparel to jewelry to Christmas items.

It's the team's major fundraiser. They hope to raise more funds than last year's $10,000.

All the funds raised will go to the operations of the team.

Organizers wanted to give a special thanks to Richardson's Jewelry for all their support.
