Why have a Children's Business Fair?
We want every child exposed to the joy of making something with his or her own hands, selling it (safely) to someone they do not know and ending up with extra spending money in their pocket.
We believe these three accomplishments will spark the entrepreneurial spirit in children, and become the first steps on an entrepreneurial Hero's Journey.
