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. About the Fair We are so excited to host our first annual My Big Idea-Fall Youth Entrepreneur Fair in Crossville!

Important: All products or services must be original creations made, created, or provided by the youth. Reselling is not permitted.
