Have you ever experienced the thrill of selling something you made? Something that was all you - and someone was willing to pay you $ for it? When you create something of value for another person - people are willing to pay for it. Your ideas and hard work feel valued. You gain the confidence and freedom.

The Acton Children's Business Fair is not for everyone. In fact, it is only for younger entrepreneurs ages 5-14. Parents CANNOT help with anything other than logistics and funding (they can loan you the money). They are not allowed to even sit inside your booth. It will be very tempting for them to help you succeed or rescue you when you make a mistake. Your challenge is to refuse any attempt of their help. This experience may be difficult for you (perhaps you will not sell anything) or very invigorating (you may be able to pay back your parents and put some cash in your pocket). Either way, it is a learning experience you and your family will remember. You must develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace. You will love it!

CHOICE is hosting the 2024 Acton Children's Business Fair in Bountiful, Utah. In past years, we had about 90 budding entrepreneurs running 50 mini-one-day businesses! We usually have several hundred customers each year. Registration for the event is a first come first serve basis. In past years, the spots fill in about one week. Emails will be first sent to subscribers who contacted us within the last year. A few days later, registration will open to everyone. The business fair will take place in rain or shine on Saturday, May 11, 2024 from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm.

This event is sponsored by Acton Academy, the Acton School of Business, Next Great Adventure, CHOICE, Green Gummy Bear 501(c)3, Mountain West Small Business Finance and the generous support of many children and parents at CHOICE. We all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation. You are the next generation of entrepreneurs, and we are excited for your experience!

The price to participate in the business fair is $15/booth. This amount should be earned and paid for by the budding entrepreneur(s). Each mini business will need to bring a table and chair. You can decorate it if you wish. You may bring and setup a canopy/tent. If you intend to have non-packaged food, we encourage you to get a food handler's permit so that you learn from it.
