The Youth Business Market is for our younger generation. From ages 5 - 17, these individuals will get the opportunity to learn about business and enjoy the art giving a service and the value of a dollar.
Why the Youth Business Market?
It is more than just a Lemonade Stand. The Putnam County Youth Bureau and Friends are teaming up to offer a hands-on way for youth ages 5 to 17 to learn about small business by selling their products and services to the public during Youth Business Market held at Tilly Foster Farm on June 8th.
What can our youth sell at the Youth Business Market?
Your youth can sell a variety of things for the possibilities are endless when you use your imagination. The categories are:
Crafts
Food
Collectibles
Services

How does the Youth Business Market Work?
We treat this as if your youth is a vendor at a Farmers Market or Trade show. You (the parent) will sign up with your child/teenager and get a permit. Come up with a name for your group that would act like a business name. Then you will tell us about what youd like to sell. We will then approve your application
