Maggie Obst, the Program Manager, shares her excitement about the KinderMarket. "We just got some amazing responses from kiddos who were already crafting and wanting an opportunity to show it and some who made up some ideas for this to happen," she says. "They were just the most creative and innovative things I’ve heard in a long time." This event not only allows kids to showcase their talents but also gives them an entrepreneurial experience.
By supporting the KinderMarket, we are supporting our community and the future leaders. As Obst emphasizes, "I think it’s so important to support our community and support our little kiddos who are going to be growing to be the leaders of tomorrow. Giving them some entrepreneurial experience and showing off what they can do and getting the support from the community during a season of joy and gathering."
At the craft fair, you can expect to find over 25 kid vendors displaying their wonderful crafts. These young artists have been working hard throughout the year and are eager to share their creations. It's a great opportunity to discover unique and handmade items.
Each vendor brings their own style and creativity to the market. From beautiful paintings to intricate jewelry, there is something for everyone. It's a chance to support local talent and add a special touch to your holiday shopping.
It's important to note that the KinderMarket is a cash-only event. So, be sure to bring some cash along with you when you visit. This adds to the charm and authenticity of the market, allowing kids to handle real transactions and learn valuable financial skills.
By participating in a cash-only event, you are also supporting the local economy and helping these young entrepreneurs. It's a small but meaningful way to make a difference.
