We are going to have HIP's first ever "free enterprise" day for families. We'll let the kids create and run a small 'business' while the adults and little ones become their customers.  They'll learn tons about what it takes to create a business that works, and we'll all have a great time watching them do it.

What is this HIP Fall Market about?  What should I expect?  Why would I want to come?  If you've asked yourself any of these questions be sure to watch the two videos below!!  DISCLAIMER::  I filmed and edited these videos using some really advanced equipment (LOL...my husband's iPhone and iMovie).  Seriously I'm pretty lame when it comes to this type of thing...so don't laugh too hard at my fabulous shooting and editing skills.  I know the transistions I used to edit them a bit are pretty awesome.  Enjoy!!

  2. Once you've decided on that, come up with a service, food, or product that you want to sell.
  3. Start creating your product NOW so that you'll be prepared to sell it on November 14th.
  4. Fill out the HIP HARVEST MARKET business license form (which will be online soon) so you'll be offical for the 14th.
