About the fair
Fifth annual SEEK & Friends Student Business Fair 
Friday, May 8, 2026 | 5:30 – 7:30pm
117 Ranch House Rd. Willow Park

This is an outdoor event, rain or shine!
 
What is the Student Business Fair?
Students develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our marketplace. Students apply and plan their business at every level: product, service, accounting, cost of goods, pricing, etc
 
Quick Facts
*Participation in the fair is completely OPTIONAL. 
*All prep work will be completed outside of school hours.
*No businesses requiring electricity or generators will be allowed.
*Tables, chairs and all supplies to be provided by participants. 
*No more than 3 participants per booth/business idea. Friends, peers and/or siblings are allowed to work together cooperatively. 
*Parents of young children may sit in their booth, but the children are to be responsible for setup, sales and interacting with the customers at an age appropriate level.
* SET UP can begin Friday May 8 at 4:00 pm. CLEAN UP responsibility falls to the business owner. 
 
Guidelines for Parents and Guardians
*Don’t overcomplicate this! What is needed from parents are clear boundaries and backstage organization. Encourage your children to make a quality product or service, but don’t take on the role of a manager or owner.
*Encourage your child to create a product or service they are excited about. 
*Remember: IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT!

Frequently asked questions

Application must be submitted online (you're here!) through Acton Academy. Please submit one application for each business (students working as a group should submit one application that includes each student’s information).

The application asks students to think through some simple, but important elements of their business:

What product or service do you plan to sell?
What price will you charge for each product/service? How much will each product/service cost you?
How will you pay for your startup costs? If someone is helping you with your startup costs, how will you pay that person back?
How will you advertise/market your business before the fair?
At the end of the fair, how will you determine if your business was a success?

Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do.

The fair will be an outdoor event in the St. Francis of Assisi church parking lot. Each business will be given a booth space that's 8 feet wide. Table and chairs are to be provided by business owner. Cleanup responsibility falls to the business owner.
