Children’s Business Fair to be held June 1

The 3rd Annual Acton Children’s Fair is accepting new, young entrepreneurs for its June event.

The Public is invited to join young minds marketing, selling, counting money and feeling accomplished!

The 3rd Annual Acton Children’s Business Fair will be held Saturday. June 1 from 10am-1pm in the Arts&Crafts Building at the Crescent City Fair Grounds. The event will showcase business ventures created and launched by our local children ages 6-14 from Del Norte and Curry counties. 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 a design for the Fair, setting up a 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, the event showcased 14 booths with 19 young entrepreneurs selling products such as art work, candles, lip balms, creams, paranoid products, handmade jewelry and treats to tie-dye clothes and plants.
