The public is invited to the West Palm Beach Children’s Business Fair, showcasing kids’ entrepreneurial efforts, on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches (900 Brandywine Road in West Palm Beach).
At the fair, which is free and open to the public, up to 20 young entrepreneurs ages 6 to 16 will showcase and sell their wares. Each child will create a product or service, develop a brand, build a marketing strategy and then open for customers at this one-day marketplace. The children are responsible for setup, sales and interacting with customers.
“The West Palm Beach Children’s Business Fair provides a fun environment for students to showcase their creativity and talents while building business skills,” said United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches Director of Children’s Ministries Kate Marr, who is organizing the event.
This event is sponsored by Acton Academy, the Acton School of Business.
“I’ve been working all summer making my beaded bracelets. I’m really excited to sell them at the business fair. I hope to make about $100,” said Grace Marr, the 8-year-old owner of Gracelets.
