Makers Market is a space for homeschooled students to show and sell their creations!
Makers Market is an opportunity for area homeschooled children to explore entrepreneurship, practice financial resources management and explore possibilities for their future!
It's also a chance for kids to make cool stuff, show it off, and earn some cash!
Games, toys, clothing, artwork, writings, etc. If you made it, you can sell it at the Makers Market!
Sales: Each maker is responsible for their own sales. You should be prepared to make change for cash purchases. You might want to set up to accept payments via Square or PayPal Here on your smartphone.
This is a cooperative event!
- All registered makers are expected to help ensure a successful event for everyone by working to promote their own booth and the Makers Market in general to their family, friends, neighbors, and community!
- All registered makers are expected to help with both set up and clean up.
- To avoid disruption to other makers and their shoppers (and to improve your own sales), all makers should plan to be set up and ready to sell by 10 am.
| set-up period for all makers: | 9:30am–10am | |
| showing & selling: | 10am–3pm | |
| clean-up period for all makers: | 3pm–3:30pm |
- If a registered maker sees something to be done, the maker should offer to do it!
This event is wholly created by YOU. Makers Market is the homeschool families who sign up to make and sell — meaning homeschooling moms, homeschooling dads, and their creative entrepreneurial homeschooled makers! Creating this event is an all-volunteer effort so we need all hands on deck volunteering to help make it awesome!
