Seventy children between the ages of 9 and 12 spent six weeks planning a business and bringing it to fruition at the TREP$ Marketplace on Friday, March 9. The award-winning program is the brainchild of Hayley Romano and Pamela deWaal. It teaches children the basics of entrepreneurship. (Photos by Mike Bousquet.)
