Kids Entrepreneur Con Happening This Saturday in Columbus!

Desiree Johnson, proprietress of Schoolhouse Ice Pops & Lemonade, will be hosting the first-ever Kids Entrepreneur Con from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at her lil' shop at 1205 Military Road in Columbus from 10 to 3. Kid-run businesses of all kinds will be present to sell their wares, with 25 of them expected. There is no charge for the kids selling their items. “It’s just another place for them to get notoriety, for them to show their hard work and dedication as being an entrepreneur,” Johnson said.

The one who sells the most items will receive a $150 grant, which must be used for their business; the runner-up will get a $100 grant. Both grants were donated by The Watson Foundation.

“My hopes and dreams of this entrepreneur con is to have a lot of vendors, and the vendors to have fun, sell a lot of stuff, and get a lot of money,” her ten-year-old son Cinco said.

“If you really think about it, it’s our future,” Desiree said. “Especially if you live in a small area like the Golden Triangle, small business is everything.”

Power of the Almond is Expanding!

DALLAS, TX

Homegrown gluten-free/sugar-free bakery Power of the Almond is now preparing to expand into Dallas, Texas! They got started just a few years ago in the Industrial Park in Starkville, and soon had enough business to move to a more prominent location on the main drag.

Not long after that, however, COVID hit and made things a little trickier, so they did what all good businesses do - They adapted! They have now had a thriving business shipping their tasty products nationwide for a good five years. Please join us in wishing them well as they continue to build their market!

Give them a try!

Starkville's Own GLO Earns Major Industry Award

STARKVILLE, MS - Courtesy of Hagan Walker and Glo Pals

The good folks at GLO recently won the ASTRA Star Play Award for their Light-Up Library educational books! This award can only be presented when a candidate business goes through a jury review and approval, followed by votes from both retailers and consumers, so it's no mean feat that they succeeded.

CEO/co-founder of GLO, Hagan Walker, tells the story of how he conceived of these light-up books, and of the struggles dealing with tariffs that were already threatening their company to begin with: "Watching a brand new product scale this fast has been incredible. We have new partnerships emerging, new languages coming, and new books right around the corner. So this award is a testament to a bet we placed nearly a year ago. We aren't a book company. But we're learning a lot about this industry, and it's a good reminder that sometimes disruption is the best way to find innovation."

This product has been a long time coming, and we would like you to join us in congratulating them on their continued success and cheering them on to many, many more!
