Young entrepreneurs show their wares at Kids Big Business Expo
FAIR OAKS -- More than a dozen kids learned a bit Thursday evening about what it takes to run a business.
The Kids Big Business Pop Up Expo in Fair Oaks offered the young entrepreneurs a chance to showcase their goods to customers for the first time. Among the items for sale were crocheted accessories, handcrafted tote bags, and homemade slime in a variety of colors.
The first-of-its-kind event was sponsored by Fair Oaks Recreation and Park District. Childrens as young as five were allowed to have a booth and sell their hand crafted goods. Some of the young ones even used their hours-long platform for nonprofit causes, such as raising funds to help the homeless.
Organizers say the event was so popular that they plan on brining it back next year.
