2nd Annual Acton Children’s Business Fair (Spring 2024)

One of our favorite events each year is the Acton Children’s Business Fair. It’s a one-day marketplace open to children from all over the greater Madison area. It’s an opportunity for children to create a product or service, develop a brand, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at the fair.

Every important step in the business process was tackled by the young entrepreneurs themselves. Each young entrepreneur is responsible for the setup, sales, and interaction with customers.

Cash prizes were awarded in each of the three age groups (6-7, 8-10, and 11-12) for “Most Business Potential,” “Most Creative Idea,” and “Most Impressive Presentation.”

With 22 booths, 24 entrepreneurs and over 100 shoppers, the event was a success, and we can’t wait to grow!
