How do I apply? Can I apply as part of a group?
Application must be submitted online. Please submit one application for each business. Children working as a group should submit one application that includes each child’s information. No more than 3 participants per business.
What is on the application?
The application asks kids to think through some simple, but important elements of their business. However, if your child is interested to participate but not sure what they would like to create/sell at the fair, that is okay and can be decided closer to the event. Please go ahead and apply to submit your application with minimal information so we get an idea of how many kids will participate.
What if someone else has the same business idea?
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.
How will the fair be set up?
The fair will be an indoor event with tables/booths. Each business will be given a table for their booth. Table cloths will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.
Will electricity be available?
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide electricity to the booths.
What are the rules?
This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service. Parents of younger children may stay by their booth, but the children should be responsible for set up, customer interaction, and sales.
