These kidpreneurs create a product or service, develop a brand, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers for this one-day only marketplace.This event gives young entrepreneurs experience in planning and design for the fair, setting up and staging a booth, providing good customer service, helping to overcome nervousness and fears about speaking to the public, setting prices, and determining how successful their business ideas can be. In addition to gaining real-world skills, the booths will be judged for the most original business concept, highest business potential, and best presentation. Awards will be given at the end of the fair.Last year, this event showcased 12 booths, with 15 young entrepreneurs selling products such as lip balms, creams, paracord products, handmade jewelry and treats to tie-dye clothes and plants.
