Children's Business Fair Coming To Geneva Commons For 3rd Year

GENEVA, IL — Some kids are becoming entrepreneurs early on, and a group of them will have products and goods they've created for sale at Geneva Commons' third-annual Children's Business Fair Aug. 27.

The one-day marketplace, taking place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will showcase children's startup businesses. The goods and products that will be sold were created by kids between the ages of 6 and 16, according to a mall spokesperson.

The event is designed to teach children entrepreneurship in a practical and fun manner. The course of action? Have kids come up with a product, service or idea and market it to the local community.

"This helps kids build confidence talking to adults, being passionate about something that can contribute to others and having fun while doing it," reads the event's Facebook page.

In the past, kids' booths have included businesses called Evan's Spray and Dip, Rubberband Zingers, Origami Crafts, Maia Papaya's Thinks and Things, and Cupcake Crash.
