We are excited to bring a kids market to this years Spring Youth Fair! The Market will be held Sunday May 4th from 12-5. Set up will begin at 11 and take down will be after 5pm. Vendor Price is $10 to be paid before event.
Children must be 5 to 17 years old and able to run the booth with their adults interacting with the customers
AT ALL. Parents can assist their child when needed, but children must be able to:
- Take/Fulfill orders, and answer questions
- Take payment and make change. (If your child cannot do these things with minimal help, either pare down the offering, or wait for a future date when they are able to do so.)
We welcome children with disabilities or special needs to participate with any necessary parental assistance. Please notify us at check-in.
PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT
DO NOT answer questions, take orders, or handle money. You can assist your child when needed, but CANNOT engage customers directly.
Parents, we STRONGLY encourage you to not take payment. If you choose to use payment apps, teach your child how to use it beforehand.
Parents are required to remain at the booth with their child throughout the duration of the market.
It’s your responsibility to make sure all adults in your party are aware of and agree to the rules.
Parents sit in the back of the booth, read a book, and act like you’re not listening! Removing yourself (figuratively speaking) is what makes this an incredible learning experience for your child.
Please keep it kid appropriate, quality over quantity and please price products accordingly.
