Children will step into the shoes of business professionals this weekend at the Young Entrepreneurs’ Market Day in downtown Mars.
Held through the weekly Mars Farmers’ Market, the event includes about 30 children ages 5 to 17 who preregistered for the program and offers them a chance to explore the world of commerce through hands-on creation. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at 225 Crowe Ave.
Founded by Middlesex Township mom Amber Rush, the market will feature between 12 and 14 booths featuring a variety of handmade products, including homemade jam, pillows, brownies, cupcakes and jewelry. Children are required to make any product that they sell themselves.
To Rush, the market is a chance to give kids practical experience and impart new ways of learning.
