Inaugural Year — Final Post 🎈
We squeezed in one more incredible event before closing out our inaugural year.
Roswell Youth Entrepreneurs were invited by The Bunny Hive and the events team at The Hotel at Avalon to bring balloon artistry to Avalon’s Noon Year’s Eve celebration — and it truly felt like the big leagues!
I love the contrast between the pre-party selfie I took with the empty dance floor in the background and the 12 ‘o’ clock balloon drop moment RYE mom Rania captured. It really gives you a sense of the magnitude of the event. had these families partying like it was 1999. It was so fun to witness the jubilation!
Hard work, a lot of joy, and a meaningful way to close out our first year.
Grateful for how it all unfolded — and excited for what’s ahead in 2026.

Inaugural Year Series — Post 3 ✨
As our first year comes to a close, we’re grateful for moments when our youth got to show up as real vendors in real community events.
clubhouse invited us into their much-loved Halloween Carnival — a brilliant, high-energy event where young and adult vendors were welcomed to set up tables in exchange for hosting a simple carnival game with candy or small prizes.
The result was a trunk-or-treat–style experience where everyone came up to every table, whether they were buying or just playing. Because of this, our youth interacted with dozens of unfamiliar people in a short amount of time.
Many shared afterward how much more comfortable they felt talking with strangers, explaining their ideas, and engaging with the public. That newfound confidence was just one of many meaningful outcomes from that night.
We’re deeply grateful to Lynn and Lindsey at Confetti Clubhouse for inviting us in and trusting young entrepreneurs as part of the experience — and we’d love to do more together in 2026. 💛
