GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Those attending the Farmer’s Market on Broadway this Wednesday will have additional buying options as the first-ever Children’s Business Fair is being held at Gather on Broadway.
The event will showcase around 40 products that have been created, marketed, and eventually sold by young students.
Denise McFarlin, the founder of Solid Foundation Learning Inc. and organizer of the event, says the kids have been very creative.
“The average 7 to 12-year-old that I talk to has about three ideas in the first five minutes,” says McFarlin.
This event is giving young students an opportunity to practice an alternative form of hands-on education.
“Most kids are pretty excited to actually spend their time creating something,” explains McFarlin. “They almost forget they’re learning.”
The students on Wednesday will also have plenty of motivation to sell their products.
“Making a few bucks never hurt,” says McFarlin.
The event starts at 4 P.M. and goes until 7 P.M.
