Emily S., pictured, was one of several business owners at the Young Entrepreneur Fair held Aug. 8 at Visa Brewing in Driftwood. Her shop, Dragons and Dreams, began after she received a 3-D printer for Christmas and spent the next few months making gifts for her friends. When the opportunity came up to participate in the fair, she couldn’t say no, said Emily.

She gravitated toward knitting, while Liam and Gale took to crochet. Their items vary, but all include hard work, said Elena, as some pieces took as little as 30 minutes to as long as two days to complete.
