Handley Children's Business Fair

Joins us for our first Children's Business Fair on October 5th!

Observe the opportunity for children to launch their very own startup business!

Kids develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace.

We will host 15 booths at the 1st annual event at the Handley Center in Lead on October 5th, 2024 from 10 am – 1 pm.

All ages welcome to participate, but only age groups 6-7, 8- 10, 11-12, and 13-14 will be judged!

Setup starts at 9:30am, followed by two hours of selling/showcasing products, and the award Ceremony will start at 12:30 pm. There will be a small cash prize for each category in each age group!

This event is sponsored by Acton Academy, the Acton School of Business, and the generous support of our donors and volunteers. We all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.

Whether an entrepreneur is famous like Elon Musk or Oprah Winfrey or they are one of the thousands of unsung business owners across this country, these are the people who make sacrifices to innovate, create jobs and serve their communities.
