Come one, come all! Does your child have an entrepreneurial Spirit? Have they had their own lemonade stand or the idea to sell their homemade crafts or advertise local services like lawn mowing, or yard clean up? Do they create unique jewelry, ceramics, knit, crochet. If so Brandy Haeck, owner of Valhalla Value has set up the first Annual Kids Market Day for young entrepreneurs. Your child can start to learn the beginning skills of developing their business. “A child who actively starts and runs their small business is less likely to follow the status quo or be easily influenced by other people.” Brandy states. Her hope is that with the support of the community we can put into motion, that hobbies can become a business. and get young active minds to put thought into their future. It helps to build confidence within themselves and to trust their ability to work through situations and difficult challenges. It also can benefit them on how to handle rejection and turn it into a success. On May 3rd, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. your child can reserve a booth of a minimal charge depending on the table size needed. Brandy believes that this opportunity will allow the kids to learn valuable skills like customer service, problem solving and of course managing money, and lessons in the planning and pricing.
Please contact Brandy at Valhalla Value by April 10th, 2025, and help build confidence in your child. We encourage locals to shop and support this endeavor for our youth. All funds raised from this event will be donated to support the Charlotte Grapplers Youth Wrestling Club. Please call Brandy at 517-588-8664 or stop by Valhalla Value located at 518 W Lovett St. Charlotte, MI.
