High school students will be presenting great ideas for creating businesses at the 8th Annual Ogallala Commons Youth Entrepreneur Fair. The Fair will be held on Tuesday, November 18th at the Cole Community Center, located at 300 16th Street (one block north of the Courthouse Square) in Canyon, TX. There will be two categories in the Fair: ready-to-go businesses, as well as conceptual businesses that could be launched in the future. The three top products or concepts exhibited in each division at the Fair will receive cash prizes: first place: $1,000, second place: $750, and third place: $500.
More than 30 students from Canyon High School will be providing 19 entries in the E-Fair. Other high school competitors will come from Tulia, Dimmitt, and Nazareth. Contestants will be awarded points by a panel of three judges in four main categories: Business Plan, Interview with Judges, Booth Presentation at the Fair, Strategies to Finance the Business, and Network of Support for the Business.
The public is invited to visit the Cole Community Center from 12noon to 1pm, to see the booths that students have set up to exhibit their business ideas. The Fair is sponsored by Ogallala Commons and its community and business sponsors who are donating the cash prizes. For more information, contact Darryl Birkenfeld, OC Director, at 806-945-2255.
