The sales pitches began almost immediately.

As visitors entered the University of Windsor's CAW Centre and Odette School of Business, they were greeted by students eager to promote everything from handmade body scrubs and candles to wooden drink coasters, key chains and upcycled vinyl records.

Each hoped to make a sale while sharing the story behind their business during Market Day.
