We are so excited to hold our first annual My Big Idea-Fall Youth Entrepreneur Fair in Crossville!

Here are the details:

Date: November 1st 2025

Set up time: 9:45 am - 10:15 am

Speakers: 10:15 am - 10:45 am

Event Time: 11 am - 2 pm CST

Awards and clean up: 2 pm - 3 pm

Location: Dirty Girl Nursery in Crossville TN

Business Idea: We will take great care to limit the number of businesses in specific categories so we will not have too many similar business concepts. We will not allow a similar business type to repeat until we have 10 other business types. For example: We have 2 children interested in making cookies the first student will be approved to make cookies the next child will be offered to come up with a different idea or wait until we have 10 other participants then that category can be repeated.

Here is a link to different business ideas.
