YOUTH ENTREPRENEUR FAIR!

Are you a high school student interested in building a local technology, rural tourism, renewable energy or value-added agricultural business or product?

Across the U.S., people are clamoring for innovative products that give a face to the producer, that demonstrate a stewardship of natural resources, and that build a closer relationship to a community. Do you have a business idea, along with the vision, passion, and commitment to develop a new product and a market?

We invite you to apply for a chance to compete in our Youth Entrepreneur Fair, Friday, March 30, 2007 at Rawlins County High School in Atwood, Kansas.

Exhibitors will be selected based on the creativity, practicality, and personal commitment to the project as expressed in the application essay. The top 30 applicants will be invited to the March 30th fair to present their idea or product, consisting of a booth, short presentation and business plan. During the competition, judges will ask questions about the idea/product, its feasibility, and how it can add to the rural economy.

The top three products or concepts exhibited at the fair will receive a cash prize!
First Place: $1,000   Second Place: $750   Third Place: $500
