BUSINESS FAIR DETAILS
The Children's Business Fair is a one-day market for children, ages 6-14, to showcase their very own business. Each business will apply online, informing the fair volunteers of their business plan. This is an opportunity for the children to learn about business and entrepreneurship, so we stress the importance of allowing the children to make decisions about their business, and to do as much of the work on their own as possible.
On the day of the event, each business will be given a booth with an 8-foot table to share with one other business to set up their products and displays. The fair will open to the public from 10:00am-1:00pm.
During the fair, judges will observe the businesses, and interview the children running businesses. Prizes will be awarded to the best businesses by age and category.
14 booths participating
