The Youth Entrepreneur Market has 25 spots available.
To secure a spot, 2 steps are required:
1. Fill out the form below
2. Pay a refundable deposit of $20 per date via Venmo.
Over the past few years, we have had about 50% of our sign-ups be no-shows. This creates an issue since we have limited space. We do not want to turn away students and then have the space be empty. Due to this, we are implementing a refundable fee to reserve your space. The $20 will be refunded during our check-in on the day of the event.
**If we cancel the event due to weather, you deposit will be refunded.
**If you contact us 48 hours prior to the event to cancel, we will refund the deposit

FAQ
What should I bring?
We will provide a checklist, but in general you will need a table/chair(s), signage and a way to accept payment. We recommend bringing a 10x10 pop-up tent as well and a way to secure it. Most importantly, bring a big SMILE!
What are you providing?
The Civitans will be providing the location and marketing. At arrival, you will be assigned a location and will need to make sure your booth fits fully inside (10'x10').
What products are not allowed?
We are only allowing products that the student has physically made. So that means no services, software or digital products will be allowed.
What time do we set up?
The event will be held 10AM-3PM and we will request set up to be done between 9-9:30AM.
Is there a loading area?
Yes, please park in the overflow parking lot of BIGGBY to unload everything and then park your car in the parking lot next to the tennis courts.
What if I already graduated high school?
If you are 18 or older and graduated high school, then this event will be closed to you. If you are still 17 and already graduated, then you would be welcome until your 18th birthday.
Why do I have to pay a $20 refundable fee?
We have limited spaces available, and we want to ensure as many of those spots are occupied as possible. When we have more than 25 students reserve a spot, we have to start turning away students. We then have no-shows and empty spots, worse of all is that we told students "no". The fee is fully refundable on the day of the event.
Do we need to use a commercial kitchen for baked goods?
No, not per the Michigan Cottage Food Law: Under the Cottage Food Law, non-potentially hazardous foods that do not require time and/or temperature control for safety can be produced in a home kitchen (the kitchen of the person's primary domestic residence) for direct sale to customers at farmers markets, farm markets, roadside stands or other direct markets.
