What is the Kid’s Business Fair?

The Kid’s Business Fair inspires children age 4 to 17 to discover their inner entrepreneur. This one-day market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.

What type of businesses will you accept?

Children must create their own products (or significantly modify products to make them their own) or services. Please feel free to email us (crosbyvendormarket@yahoo.com) to inquire if your product will be eligible prior to submitting an application. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.

Can I apply as part of a group?

Children working as a group should submit one application that includes each child’s information. No more than 3 participants per business.

When will I find out if my business is accepted?

You will find no later than 2 weeks of submission.

What if someone else has the same business idea?

Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do.

If my business is accepted, how much is the booth fee?

$25 per business

How will the fair be set up?

The fair will be an outdoor event at the Crosby American Legion. Each business will be given a 10x10 ft outdoor space to set up as they wish and must bring a 5-8 ft folding table. Bring all necessary items you'll need to display your product. Tent if needed, tables, chairs and anything else ypu may need.

What are the rules?

This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service. Parents may help their child fill out the application, but we expect the children to do as much as possible by themselves. On the day of the fair, the children should be responsible for set up (little help from adults. Like tents and table. Everything else is on the child) customer interaction, and sales.

What if there's inclement weather the day of?

The Kid’s Fair will be held, rain or shine. However, in the case of inclement weather occurring, appropriate decisions will be made by the host as to canceling, delaying, re-scheduling, closing the fair early, etc.

No Refunds for no-shows or cancellations. If we have to reschedule your payment will Rollover to the rescheduled date.
Parents must supervise all children under 13 years old at all times. At no time must you leave your child/children unsupervised. This is for their safety.
