Children’s Business Fair series part 3: will they own businesses as adults?

By WCMY News Aug 27, 2022 | 5:24 AM

One goal of the Children’s Business Fair in Ottawa earlier this month was to gets kids interested in running their own businesses when they grow up. Ana-Elisa Scheick sold handmade jewelry. She can see herself owning a business as an adult. But she’s going to the moon first.

Some of the kids weren’t so sure about it though. Aanya Agarwal says she might keep making crafts as a hobby but isn’t thinking about it as her full-time adult vocation.

Ottawa seventh grader Dixie Smick isn’t sure either. She says maybe.

The things the children sold included jewelry, plants, and time at a Nerf shooting range.
