How talented is your child or children you know outside your family?

Find out how gifted some children are when you attend the Santee Children’s Business Fair showcasing children’s entrepreneurial genius on Saturday, Aug. 12 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The first annual event will host 46 young entrepreneurs at West Hills High School in Santee in the school’s gymnasium. The event is free and will be open to the public.

Children create a product or service, develop a brand, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at this one-day marketplace.

The children are responsible for the set up, sales, and interacting with customers, and any parent seen selling to the customer or promoting the child’s product will result in disqualification from the competition.

This event is hosted by Momentum Tutoring, Santee Kiwanis Club, and the Santee Chamber of Commerce. It is sponsored by Acton Academy, the Acton Next Great Adventure, and the support of donors and volunteers who all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.

Whether an entrepreneur is famous like Elon Musk or Oprah Winfrey, or one of the thousands of unsung business owners across the country, these entrepreneurs are the people who make sacrifices to innovate, create jobs, and serve their communities.

“Today’s youth are tomorrow’s business innovators and leaders. The Children’s Business Fair gives students the opportunity to spread their entrepreneurial wings and get a head start on promising business careers,” said Jeff Sandefer, founder of the Acton School of Business.

Cash prizes of $50 will be awarded to each of the three age groups (6-9, 10-11, and 12+) for most business potential, most creative idea, most impressive presentation, and most excellent.
