Building Brunsco Kids Expo highlights kid entrepreneurs

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — In just a few weeks, you can shop goods and services all created by kids at the Building Brunsco Kids Expo.

The kids expo is a 3-hour pop-up shop event on Saturday, August 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Calabash. Kids ages 7 to 18 can set up a booth and sell a product or service.

The Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce created this event as a way to provide an opportunity for the next generation of entrepreneurs to share their passions and talents.

The kids must run their booths completely on their own without adult assistance. They will make change, handle customer service, sales and answer questions about their business. This allows kids to develop necessary skills needed throughout their personal and professional lives.

Leading up to the event, free workshops are offered for the kids to help with booth exhibit set-up, confidence and de-stressing techniques.

Robin Beliveau from Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce and Avery Babson from Busy Bees stopped by Good Morning Carolina to talk about the expo and why it’s important for kids to get involved.

Registration is still open for a kid entrepreneur to enter the expo. Kids can apply online. Applications are accepted until Sunday, August 19. To apply or find out more information, click here.
