12 “kidpreneurs” participated in the event, celebrating “anti-boredom month” by launching their own businesses, according to organizers.

Organizers said that the Las Vegas community came out in full force to support the “kidpreneurs,” who showcased everything from tasty treats to handmade crafts until most booths sold out.
