🚨 KIDPRENEUR REGISTRATION IS OPEN! 🚨

Got a kid with a BIG idea? 💡
A budding artist? 🎨
A young baker, maker, creator, inventor, or entrepreneur? 💰

Kidpreneur Marketplace 2026 is back — and this year, the Northeast Texas Children’s Museum is proud to co-host this popular Bois d’Arc Bash tradition with the Commerce Downtown Alliance!

🛍️ Saturday, September 26
📍 Downtown Commerce
⏰ 10:00 AM–1:00 PM
💚 FREE for Kidpreneurs!

Kidpreneur is a REAL marketplace where kids get to create a business, set up a booth, talk to customers, and make sales. They set their prices, keep their profits, and — most importantly — get to be the boss! 👏

Kids ages 6–18 are welcome, with appropriate adult support for younger participants.

They can sell things they've made, created, designed, baked, invented, or grown — from art and jewelry to crafts, stickers, baked goods, plants, inventions and more!

✨ No existing business? No problem! A brand-new idea created just for Kidpreneur is welcome.

Spaces are limited, so register early! Registration closes Friday, September 18 — or earlier if we fill all available spaces.

👉 Register and find all the details at www.netxcm.com/kidpreneur

Let's give these young entrepreneurs a real place to dream big, create something amazing, and put it on the market! 💡🛍️

Small Business. Big Ideas.
