Become a Market Biz Kid
Astoria Sunday Market holds open house
ASTORIA — Dream Big! The
Astoria Sunday Market’s Young
Entrepreneur program is hosting
its annual Open House at 6 p.m.
Monday, Jan. 26, at the Asto-
ria Event Center located at 255
Ninth St. The event is a great
opportunity to learn what it takes
to be a Market Biz Kid during
the 2015 Astoria Sunday Market
season.
Astoria Sunday Market part-
ners with Clatsop County 4-H to
run the Young Entrepreneurs and
Biz Kidz program.
The Young Entrepreneur’s
Club offers kids in grades K-12
an opportunity to develop and
create a product for sale at Asto-
ria Sunday Market under the Biz
Kidz tent. The Market and Clat-
sop County 4-H leaders guide
young entrepreneurs through the
process with a series of work-
shops with topics that include
developing a product, salesman-
ship, designing a display and
planning a budget.
“Whether or not a kid de-
cides to participate in the Astoria
Sunday Market, the workshops
are a fun and interesting way to
explore what it takes to turn a
dream into reality,” said Cyndi
Mudge, market director. “We
strive to keep the workshops
free, interesting and fun.”
The program remains free
thanks to underwriting from
Recology Western Oregon,
Wauna Federal Credit Union and
Clatsop Community Bank. Piz-
za and beverages will be served
and kids are encouraged to bring
their ideas and enthusiasm to
share as they learn how to be-
come a Young Entrepreneur. For
