Each year, young participants between the ages of 6 and 14 bring their creativity, courage, and business savvy to the forefront. From handmade crafts and original art to innovative tech and service ideas, these budding business owners never fail to impress. It’s more than just a fair—it’s a launchpad for confidence, leadership, and real-world skills.
This year’s fair was especially meaningful. For the first time, I was joined by my 17 year-old son, Dhiren, who plans to major in business. He served alongside me as a co-judge, bringing his own fresh perspective and enthusiasm to the experience. Watching him engage with the young entrepreneurs was a full-circle moment and a reminder of how events like these can inspire across generations.
Judging the businesses has always been a joy, but supporting them through Park Pediatrics since the fair’s inception has deepened my connection to its mission: encouraging kids to dream big and take ownership of their ideas.
To capture some of that magic, we put together a short video montage of this year’s fair. It’s a celebration of the creativity, hustle, and joy these young entrepreneurs bring to our community
I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. If you’ve never been to the fair, I highly encourage you to attend next year. And if you’re looking for a way to give back to your community, consider supporting or volunteering. You’ll be amazed by what our kids can do when given the opportunity.
Here’s to the future—and the brilliant young minds shaping it!
Also special shout out and congrats to the organizers: Holly Chang, Kerron Miller
Tracy Stuger Scott, and Duane Scott. They spend countless hours making this fair a huge success!
