Out of the Mouths of Babes

Friday May 8th was a fun day for me! I was part of a panel discussion class for Marketplace For Kids. The title of the class that we taught was "Be Your Own Boss". Steve Aune and Dallas from Country Financial and Tiffany Johnson, D.C. from Healing Touch Chiropractic all from Fargo were part of the panel. We were at Concordia College in Fargo, ND. Imagine owning your own business. No worries, you're the boss! You work when you want to--or do you? The students learned what it is like to start, own, and operate your own business.

We had five classes of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. Man, they had so many great questions and seemed to really enjoy hearing what we had to say. Of course, the kids were pretty excited when they found out that they each got to take a cookie with them at the end of the class period.

It was fun to see the enthusiasm the students had for Marketplace for Ideas for Kids. This program is definitely growing young Entrepreneurs. I just wish that we would have had this opportunity when I was younger. We may have been making cookies a lot sooner!

Everyone at the shop is gearing up for The Taste of Home Cooking School Thursday, June 18th at the Expo Center in Lisbon, ND. The Taste of Home Magazine is conducting the class. We will be sponsoring a booth at the show. We plan on having samples, door prizes, Father's Day cookies as well as many neat bouquets for sale. Doors open at 4pm. Be sure to stop by and visit with us!
