Want to turn your kid's big ideas into a mini business? The Port Dickinson Pumpkin FestiFall is giving kids a chance to shine as entrepreneurs. For just $25, your child can set up their own booth and sell goods, services, or raise money for a cause.

Imagine the excitement and pride of running your own business for a day! For the second year, the FestiFall is offering a "Eager Entrepreneurs" category, where kids can set up their own booths to sell goods (just no food or beverages!), services, or simply raise awareness for a cause. It's a fantastic way to learn about business, interact with the community, and develop valuable life skills.

Important details:

When:  10am-3pm on Saturday, September 7, 2024

Where: Port Dickinson Community Park in Binghamton, NY

Cost: $25 per booth

Participating Eager Entrepreneurs will operate under a “take what you like and we accept donations” type of transaction. Attendees can donate as much as they wish, but any signage referencing “suggested donations” must be within the $1-$5 range to make it a fair and fun experience for all participating entrepreneurs.

To participate, submit the FestiFall Participant Application Form online by September 1, 2024.
