Frequently asked questions

What is the Havelock Children's Vendor Fair?
The Havelock Children’s Vendor 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!

How many businesses will be accepted?
We are accepting up to 36 kid-run businesses for this event.

What is the vendor fee?
The fee is $30 per business. Once your application is approved, you’ll receive an email with payment instructions. The fee must be paid before your child’s business is added to the roster.

How do I apply? Can my child apply with a friend?
Applications must be submitted online. Please submit one application per business. If children are working together (maximum of 2 per business), include both names in the same application.

What if another child has the same business idea?
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.

What will setup look like?
Each business is responsible for bringing their own setup:

  • One 6-foot table

  • One 10x10 tent

  • Chairs

Will electricity be available?
No, electricity will not be provided for booths.

What are the rules?
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.
