Young entrepreneurs unite as the second annual Children’s Business Fair is coming to the Opaskwayak and OCN Chamber of Commerce Annual Trade Show and Sale.

 

The fair will take place on May 9th from 10 a.m. to noon, highlighting youth businesses in the community.

 

This is an opportunity for kids to create their own brands, logos, and booths, then set up their wares and sell them during the trade show, giving them real-world sales and entrepreneurial experience.

 

Last year, 8-year-old Jetson Rollins from Ecole Opasquia School turned his love of hockey into a business.

 

At first, Jetson was nervous talking to customers, but after practicing at the Fair, he became confident and started earning his own money.

 

His advice for other kids: “It’s okay to be nervous. Choose something you love and your business will be great.”

 

For children wishing to take part, you can contact the Community Futures Cedar Lake Region. Registration will close on April 10th.
