2019 Small Business Awards
Put on that suit and tie! Our annual Small Business Awards are right around the corner and the nominees are getting geared up!
October 19th of 2019 marks our second annual Small Business Awards. This past year, we had many kid bosses participate in our markets where they pitched and sold their products and services. All the kids that come to represent their businesses get a chance to be voted for in seven different categories by the attendees of the market. Every kid that participated was fantastic and we are so excited to announce our 21 finalists!
