EVENT PICS: Biz Camp MarketPlace

I profiled the amazing program known as BIZ CAMP last week ... but with all the stuff going on in the news, I'm late posting the pics from their MarketPlace event on Thursday afternoon.

Dozens of Biz Campers set up shop under the Texas Street Bridge at the Louisiana Boardwalk to sell the various items they bought at a Vivian warehouse, with their $50 budget.

The young entrepreneurs had everything from candles and knickknacks to backpacks and electronic gadgets.

Some were actively drawing in patrons with calls to come buy their wares ... some were more busy trying to relieve themselves from the heat of the summer afternoon.





But for the most part, they all were doing their best to use what they learned during their two weeks at Biz Camp: Having a plan and putting it into action to draw customers in.

From their colorful signs, to their ambitious "hustling" attitudes, it was a sight to see.
