A new Children's Business Fair was held at the Hammock Community Center on July 15.
Maria Delgado of Culinary Wellness, in partnership with Acton Academy, sponsored and hosted the inaugural event, according to a news release.
This fair offered children a chance to showcase their products and services.
“We wanted to support our young entrepreneurs in our community, and organizing this event provided them that opportunity," Delgado said, according to the release. "I’m so proud of each and every kid vendor that participated in this one-day marketplace and thankful to everyone that came out to support them.”
Children as young as 6 were responsible for setup, sales and interacting with customers. Eleven kid vendor tables offered items including handmade jewelry, baked goods, plants, henna tattoos, car detailing, paracord bracelets and artwork.
"Today’s youth are tomorrow’s business innovators and leaders, and we look forward to hosting this event every year," Delgado said.
Each participant received a gift, and real estate agent Donna Dorst treated them to a surprise lunch.
Delgado, Palm Coast City Council member Theresa Carli Pontieri, and Parties by Dani CEO Danilja Martin De Howell presented certificates for “Most Business Potential,” “Most Original Idea,” and “Best Presentation at the Children’s Business Fair."
