We’re introducing 10 new businesses to the community at next week’s CEO Trade Show - like Reagan McKim’s Canning Company.

Reagan, a junior at BPC High School, creates canned goods in small, flavorful batches with simple, trusted ingredients using the hot water bath method.

➡ Reagan’s Why: “I started this business as my FFA SAE project. I decided on this as a freshman in high school because my mom, grandma, and great grandma had taught me how to can when I was in junior high and it was a skill I had well developed.”
➡ Reagan’s favorite inspo. quote: “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” - C.S. Lewis
➡ CEO in three words, according to Reagan: Mentorship, Professionalism, Teamwork
➡ Reagan’s mentor: Ryan Riggins, MidAmerica National Bank

C’mon out to the trade show, Tuesday, May 5 from 5-7 p.m. at the Spoon River College Community Outreach Center and check out Canning Company!
