Countdown: 7 days until the Trade Show - McDonough County CEO Program!

This morning, our #youngentrepreneurs had the opportunity to test out their business displays & practice their customer engagement in the format of a mock trade show.

Thanks to the Macomb Middle School for hosting! Not only did their students get to learn about our businesses and sample some products, our own students got feedback and more exposure to the community.
Macomb 185 Schools

You don't want to miss the main event! Be sure to join us next Tuesday, May 5, at the Spoon River Outreach Center from 5-7pm.
