🌟🍂 LITTLE ENTREPRENEURS. BIG DREAMS! 🍂🌟

THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PARTS OF THE FALL MARKET! ❤️

We’ve introduced some amazing vendors, but now it’s time to shine the spotlight on some of our YOUNGEST business owners!

One of the things we were most excited about when planning our 1st Annual Jackson County Fall Market was giving kids ages 5–17 the opportunity to showcase their creativity, hard work and entrepreneurial spirit!

And we couldn’t be more excited to introduce these 7 Young Entrepreneurs! 🤩

🌟 Beady Creations
🌟 Filament & Fabric
🌟 Saw Dost 3D
🌟 Aria Dalton
🌟 Frosted by B
🌟 Nora’s Crafts
🌟 Charlotte Dewulf

These young entrepreneurs are putting their time, creativity and effort into something of their very own, and we want to make sure they feel ALL the love and support from our community! ❤️

🛍️ When you come to the Fall Market, PLEASE make a point to stop by their booths!

Whether you make a purchase, offer a compliment or simply encourage them to keep chasing their dreams, those little moments can make a BIG difference!

📅 Saturday, October 24th
