Whiz kids show off their entrepreneurial spirt this Thursday for the annual Hartland Children's Business Fair

HARTLAND, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Support the next generation of young entrepreneurs at the third annual Hartland Children’s Business Fair at Nixon Park in Hartland. This inspiring community event gives children ages 6 to 14 the opportunity to launch their very own business by creating a product or service, developing a brand, marketing their ideas, and selling to real customers during a one-day marketplace experience.

Families, friends, and community members are encouraged to attend and shop from dozens of talented young business owners while celebrating their creativity, confidence and hard work.

Guests can expect free live music from the Hartland Community Band and refreshments from the Nixon Park Biergarten while exploring the fair. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three winners in two judged categories, including Most Creative Business Concept and Best Booth Presentation & Branding. Booth sign-ups are now open for those who are interested in participating as vendors.

There will also be an opportunity to encourage and support these young entrepreneurs as they bring their ideas to life. The event is Thursday, Aug. 13 between 5 and 8 p.m. at Nixon Park in the village of Hartland. Click here for all the info.
