Frequently asked questions
The Children's Entrepreneur Fair is a one-day marketplace that encourages kids to tap into their entrepreneurial spirit. Children will have the opportunity to showcase and run their own businesses — from concept to customer!
We are accepting up to 40 kid-run businesses for this event.
Applications must be submitted online. Please submit one application per business category. If children are working together (maximum of 2 per business), include both names in the same application. Reminder they can only sell in 1 business category. (Baked goods, crafts, beverages, etc.)
If selling in multiple business categories they need to submit separate applications.
It’s okay! For example, if two kids want to sell cupcakes, we’ll allow both. We’ll notify later applicants of similar businesses so they can adjust if they wish.
Each business is responsible for bringing their own setup:
One 6-foot table
Chairs
No, electricity will not be provided for booths.
This event is about kids learning by doing.
Children should handle setup, customer interaction, and sales.
Parents of younger kids may sit in the booth but should let the child lead.
Parents may assist with the application, but we encourage children to be as involved as possible.
