Anything you've made or added value to with technology! Examples- 3d printing, sewing/embroidery machine, digital software, lathes, screen printing, etc. Be prepared to share how you created your items. You could bring the technology if it's small enough (like a 3d printer or computer), or have pictures of your tech set up (woodworking lathe, large printer, etc.). Things that wouldn't fit here- handicrafts, pre-made toys/stickers bought on Amazon for re-sell.
Nope. And Utah actually has a law protecting youth vendors.
What will 500+ hungry teenagers and their families want to eat? What would YOU want to eat? Nachos, cookies, gourmet popcorn, etc. Anything is fine, but please be aware that there will be no grills inside the venue. If you want to cook something, you can set up outside and bring food inside. Contact us if you have questions.
No. But please follow food handling guidelines.
You may share a booth with your siblings. Younger siblings are welcome to help! Parents should not help you with the running of your booth. You do the product creation, sales and customer service. Your parents can help you load your items and set up your booth. Then tell them to go shopping at other booths.
Bring everything you need for your booth INCLUDING a table
We'd love to talk to you personally! Just text or email us and we'll give you a call right back.
Everything (including your table). Unfortunately the high school does not have a supply of folding tables. You can use props, flags, etc. Everything should be freestanding.
