The Family Church hosted Marco Island's first annual Children's Business Fair on Saturday, February 26th. Young entrepreneurs between the ages of six and fourteen could showcase their business ventures. Sixteen unique booths hosted by twenty-three creative entrepreneurs included young artists, musicians, bakers, tie-dye shirts, jewelry, soap, and homemade butter makers, to name a few.
The beautiful sunny day was ideal for locals to shop and support their ideas. The kids worked their booths as pros learned about sales, profits, customer service, and promotion. But, most of all, they reveled in supporting each other with encouragement, purchasing each other's products, and kind feedback.
All who participated entered the business competition, and booths were judged by fellow entrepreneurs on a variety of criteria, including originality, business potential, and presentation/creativity. In addition, thanks went to the generous local sponsors who awarded $50 cash prizes to each age category winner.
These kids demonstrated leadership, ingenuity, creativity, and fellowship. Their hard work and enthusiasm paid off as they saw successful sales, and a few even sold out!
Marco Island Family Church was proud to host the following young entrepreneurs and their businesses:
