The senior Civics and Econ class of 2025 has just completed its annual Econ Fair. With a wide diversity of culinary, clothing, and crafting experiences, the student body was guaranteed an excellent time. With the majority of booths consisting of food and drink products, the culinary connoisseurs of the student body had a delightful feast. Both students and school staff enjoyed the products from the senior class. Every group worked hard to promote and advertise their commerce. The lunch period lasted 40 minutes during the students’ lunchtime on Wednesday, where students scrambled through the cafeteria purchasing goods that looked pleasing to them.
Civics and Econ teacher, Robert Foshee, helped supervise and guide the senior class in preparation for the fair. The students were graded on a multitude of factors such as presentation, advertisement, and profit. Most student groups excelled in presentation and advertisement, but profit is variable depending on the original setup costs. This also brings a sense of competitiveness between the Econ class, using prior connections to guarantee customer spending.
Jane Cox, ‘25, is one of the members of Aloha Sips, which sold tropical-themed refreshments for Econ Fair.
“We just really miss summer,” Cox said. “And we really wanted to bring it to school, we want to be outside, and we want to invite everyone else too.”
The groups were organized under food, clothing, attire, and crafts. Food was divided between meals, drinks, and dessert-type goods.

Caleb Tuck, ‘26, was a happy enjoyer of this year’s Econ Fair. Despite the diversity of options, Tuck found no difficulty crowning Braxton’s Briskets as his favorite.
“It’s great, the meat comes right off the tendon,” Tuck said. “I rate it 9/10. Nothing is perfect, but it was fantastic.”
I was able to try out a wide variety of different foods during this year’s Econ Fair. I bought goods from Cinnabros, Beanie Baby Burritos, Pourfection, Bite & Boost, and Braxton’s Brisket. All of the products were amazing, tantalizing my tongue with an unrestrained assault of delicious flavor. My favorite by far was the Pourfection raspberry drink, which tasted very similar to a Shirley Temple.
Out of all the stands, Braxton’s Brisket got the most revenue and attention by far. The line from the beginning to the end of the lunch period was always the longest. Their food was highly anticipated for many days leading up to the event, with many samples being handed out prior. Those who tried some of the brisket early knew that it would sell out almost instantly.
Braxton Bay, ‘25, was one of the members of Braxton’s Brisket. Who prioritized selling meat and brisket during the 2025 Econ Fair.
“We exceeded expectations,” Bay said. “We sold out of almost everything. Even our competitors wanted to buy stuff from us.”
