VGB Kid Market Fair
First ever at the Village Green Bakery
Sunday - July 23rd 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Village Green Bakery GREEN Space
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR KID VENDORS
OVER 23 VENDORS WILL BE AT THE MARKET ON JULY 23RD
I am excited to introduce a Kid Market that is designed for KIDS to showcase their ‘stuff’ …. and hopefully for them to make some money.
We are looking for crafters, artists, sign makers, jewelry designers, tennis/golf ball re-sellers, bakers, weavers, knitters, collectors and all other creative ideas that they would like to make/bring and sell at the VGB Kid Market.
We want to encourage their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit by giving them a platform (or at least a five foot square of green space) to set up their table and sell their ‘stuff’.
Much like a ‘grown up market’ the participants should bring signage, smiles and their ‘stuff’ to sell to their beach community.
Jen will be on hand through out the summer to help in any way in supporting their ideas and marketing efforts….but it is up to them to ‘make their stuff’….and no your family shouldn’t be outsourced labour.
Parents / Family - of course you can help, just remember this is about the kiddos. If they make only five items to sell…so be it. They did it on their own !
Leading up to the big Day Jen and her team will actively promote the market in the bakery and on social media to help bring in the huge crowds to check out your ‘stuff’ and help support your sales. The goal is to have FUN!! If you sell nothing or if you sell everything it is about the experience…..for both you and VGB.

What If’s….
What if my kid only makes 2 things and still wants to set up shop? GO FOR IT!!
What if we sign up but then decide we/they don’t want to do it? At this time no refunds.
What if I want to submit four kids for one table? Team Effort - love it! Only one entry fee per booth. My hope though the work is equal and the profits are equal.
What if my kiddo is 14 and wants to participant? I am sure we can make that work.
What if I the adult ending up doing all the work? Well then - who’s market is it? I hope your kiddo at least helped a lot.
What if we make over $50??!!! OMG that would be amazing and whoop well done!
What if I make $5??!! OMG that would be amazing and whoop well done.
What if I want to sell my baking - will Jen be mad? Warning there is a good chance will forsure buy your goodies and put you on the hire list when you are older :)
What if I am not from VB? All kids are welcome to sign up and join us.
What if sell nothing? Did you have fun? Did you meet anyone new? Did you get to participate in a kids fair at VB? This fair is about getting whatever you can out of it. There is no competition on ‘who sold more’. Isn’t it just great to say that you were there?!
What if I don’t have a booth - can I still come to the fair? Heck ya!! We need customers!!! Bring your whole family and your neighbors. Come out and support your community / friends.
