Youth Entrepreneurs Wanted: Shadows Foundation Hosts Craft Fair for Young Creators

Imaginative young artists, creators and entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to showcase their wares - and practice running a small business - at the third annual Children's Spring Entrepreneur Craft Fair at Flagstaff Mall on Saturday, May 9.

The event - Arizona's only craft fair exclusively for youth - will allow talented youth ages 5 to 17 to share their crafts and talent with the community. Each participant will have the opportunity to purchase a 10x10 space where they can set up their crafts, art and pre-packaged baked goods for sale to the public. Past participants have offered goods such as crochet, artwork, 3D printing, candies, soap, candles, wooden planters, magnets and trivets.

The Children's Spring Entrepreneur Craft Fair is hosted by Shadows Foundation, a Flagstaff-based nonprofit providing services and financial assistance for people and families affected by a life-threatening illness.

Participants must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The booth registration fee is $20. To register, visit shadowsfoundation.org/childrensentrepreneurcraftfair.
