Young entrepreneurs showcase skills at Elevate Branson event

On July 22, the Elevate Kids Entrepreneurship Program hosted its Kids’ Business Expo. Several amazing young entrepreneurs proudly showcased businesses after working hard during Elevate Branson’s summer kids’ program to develop ideas and then turn those ideas into reality. 

Through the program, kids learned to develop a business idea, create a plan, and discover what it takes to successfully run a business. The following businesses were represented at the Expo as a result of their ideas: 

●      Lemonade Stand

●      Snow Cones

●      Duck Pond Game

●      Bean Bag Toss

●      Ping Pong Toss

●      Make Friendship Bracelets

●      Rock Painting

●      Dance Lessons

A huge THANK YOU to everyone in our community who came out to encourage these kids, shop their booths and support their entrepreneurial journey. Your encouragement means more than you know and helps inspire the next generation of business leaders!
