We are so excited to hold our first annual Fall Youth Entrepreneur Fair in Crossville!
Here are the details:
Date: November 1st, 2025
Set up time: 9:45 am - 10:15 am
Speakers: 10:15 am - 10:45 am
Event Time: 11 am - 2 pm CST
Awards and clean up: 2 pm - 3 pm
Location: Dirty Girl Nursery in Crossville, TN
Business Idea: We will take great care to limit the number of businesses in specific categories so we will not have too many similar business concepts. We will not allow a similar business type to repeat until we have 10 other business types. For example: We have 2 children interested in making cookies, the first student will be approved to make cookies, the next child will be offered to come up with a different idea, or wait until we have 10 other participants, then that category can be repeated.
Here is a link to different business ideas.
