TAMPA, Fla. \u2014\u00a0A group encouraging young people to learn about business will be selling items this weekend in Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n

The Tampa branch of Kids Markets<\/a> will be selling products at the Spooktacular<\/a> event in Wesley Chapel. Avalon Park is hosting that event on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

The event is free.<\/p>\n

Kids Markets is a group where children, ages 5 to 17, can participate in a farmer\u2019s market-style event, run entirely by kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have to be able to do all the selling themselves. Parents are not allowed to help them. We really want the kids to be selling, and not the kids to be selling on behalf of the parents,\u201d said Taylor Cauley, the Children\u2019s Entrepreneurship Manager for Tampa.<\/p>\n

Cauley\u2019s kids \u2014 10-year-old Landon and 8-year-old James \u2014 are making soap and chapstick that they will sell at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just helpful for stuff we might do later in our life,\u201d James told Spectrum Bay News 9.<\/p>\n

The Spooktacular is promising food trucks, live performances and bounce houses, in addition to the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA, Fla. \u2014\u00a0A group encouraging young people to learn about business will be selling items this weekend in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[276,9073,115,4094,7149,135,137,136,835],"class_list":{"0":"post-9051","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa","8":"tag-hillsborough-county","9":"tag-jeff-butera","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-on-the-town","12":"tag-on-the-town-app","13":"tag-tampa","14":"tag-tampa-headlines","15":"tag-tampa-news","16":"tag-vod"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
