BASK
Fair

One day. Real booth. Real customers. 9 years running in Acton, MA and now open to your town too.

9 Years. Real Kids. Real Sales.

We started this in Acton, Massachusetts. One field, some folding tables, and a bunch of kids who had never sold anything to a stranger before. Nine years later we've had hundreds of young entrepreneurs come through. Kids selling plants, lip gloss, handmade art, tech repairs, baked goods. Real businesses, run by real kids, selling to real customers who actually showed up and bought things.

We're not simulating anything. This is the real thing. And now we want to bring it to more towns.
