2020 Chicago Children's Business Fair 

​

Was a HUGE success!

We want to thank everyone who participated as shoppers and supported the over 50 businesses and 70 business owners. These kid-preneurs worked so hard, and within a short amount of time, to conceive of and create a business that delivered to over 600 households that came to the fair. We want to take a moment to recognize ALL the businesses and how AMAZING all of them were! The businesses combined to sell for more than $13,000 in less than three days! 

​

The businesses were judged by age group (8 & under, 9-11, 12 & up), and into three categories (most original idea, best presentation, and highest business potential). 

​

Here are the 2020 winners:
