At Spreading Smiles, we believe that education extends beyond classrooms. That’s why we’re excited to share the Will & Way Podcast—a platform where young entrepreneurs and creators tell their stories of curiosity, challenges, and persistence. These journeys show kids that with creativity and courage, they too can turn ideas into reality. A great listen for anyone guiding or inspiring young learners!

🌟 A Huge Thank You for an Unforgettable Day at the Spreading Smiles Children’s Business Fair! 🌟
What an amazing day it was on July 6th! The park was filled with excitement, talent, and community spirit:
60+ incredible booths
90+ young entrepreneurs
100+ enthusiastic shoppers
Countless creative ideas and unique products

From handmade candles to comic books, fidgets to boba tea, every booth told a story, and every kidpreneur brought something uniquely their own.

We’re especially grateful to Mr. Brandon Kindle, co-founder of Brugge Chocolates, for joining us as our Chief Guest. His journey of turning passion into a thriving business truly inspired every young entrepreneur there.
One message that stayed with us all:
"Don't be afraid of the word no. But in the end, as long as you follow your heart, you follow your dreams, and you are really good at what you do, you are unlimited."
A powerful reminder to stay open, dream big, and keep going.

To our amazing participants – your energy, talent, and ideas lit up the park.

To our generous sponsors – Acton Children’s Business Fair, Stemtree of Redmond, and Spreading Smiles – thank you for supporting this next generation of changemakers.
And to our incredible volunteers – your behind-the-scenes work made everything run smoothly and joyfully.
This fair wouldn’t have been the same without each and every one of you. 💛
