Avon Lakes Holds First Children’s Business Fair

On Saturday, July 28, at 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. the 1st Annual Avon Lake Children’s Business Fair will be open for business! It will be held at the Avon Lake United Church of Christ, 32801 Electric Blvd., Avon Lake.

Come and visit the 27 booths and meet the 33 children who will be offering their products and services to the public. Kids ages 8-17 create a product or service, develop a brand, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at this one-day marketplace. The kidpreneurs are responsible for the setup, sales, and interacting with customers. Any parent seen selling to the customer or promoting the child’s product will result in disqualification from the competition. There are four categories in which the booths will be judged and cash prizes are awarded at the end of fair.

What to bring to the Avon Lake Children’s Business Fair: a positive attitude, lots of small bills, your appetite, a big shopping bag, and your family and friends.

The Avon Lake Children’s Business Fair is a non-profit organization in partnership with the Acton Children’s Business Fair – the philanthropy arm of the Acton Academy and Acton MBA program with campuses in many states and even outside of the country.
