NOTTINGHAM, MD—A new “first” is happening in White Marsh on Saturday.

THE AVENUE at White Marsh, in partnership with Liberty Leadership, is sponsoring the virtual marketplace for the 1st Annual Baltimore County Children’s Business Fair on Saturday, September 26th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The fair provides the opportunity for children to launch and showcase their own startup business.

Young participants will develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at the one-day marketplace.

“I was honored to help judge the vendors at the Baltimore County Children’s Fair, which features 11 businesses operated by kids from ages 7 to 16 years old,” said Councilman David Marks on Saturday. “What a terrific idea!”

The festival is sponsored by the Aspring Phoenix Foundation
