Lake Anne Children Business Fair

This application is for children who would like to participate as vendors in the Lake Anne Children’s Business Fair, along with their parent or guardian. Young entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to showcase and sell their own products or services to the community on Saturday, August 1, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Lake Anne Plaza in Reston.

After applying, each family will have a phone call or online meeting with the event organizer, Gustavo Mas, owner of MAS Center. Gustavo will learn about the child’s business idea, answer questions, and provide personalized coaching. Participating children will also receive printable business resources and access to a Hero CEO subscription to help them develop their products, pricing, branding, marketing, and sales skills.

All participating children and their guardians will meet on Saturday, July 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Lake Anne Community Center for a two-hour business preparation workshop. At least one parent or guardian must attend this meeting and remain with the child throughout the fair.

A $20 participation fee is required to cover the tent and table provided for each business. Please submit one application per child or business and clearly describe the product or service the child plans to offer.
