The Hancock County Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) class will host its annual Trade Show on Tuesday, May 7, from 4-6 p.m. at Carthage Veterinary Service (CVS) Learning & Development Center, 303 2nd St., Carthage. A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. to kick-off the year-long 10th anniversary celebration of the Hancock County CEO Program.
The Hancock County CEO Trade Show is the culminating activity of the year-long accredited entrepreneurship course designed to utilize public/private partnerships that allow a community to connect with its best resource – its young people. The Hancock County CEO Class is open to all juniors and seniors in the four county high schools, as well as home-schooled students. The Trade Show highlights each student’s individual business and gives attendees the opportunity to meet the students, hear about their personal businesses, purchase products and/or services, and learn more about the CEO program.
The Carthage Area Chamber of Commerce, Carthage Industrial Development Corporation, and many other chamber members are proud investors in the Hancock County CEO Program. For more information on the CEO Trade Show, please contact Amy Graham, CEO board chair and Carthage Community Development director, at 217-357-5277 or ccdc@carthage-il.com.
