The Hancock County Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) Class will
host its annual trade show on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, from 4 PM-6 PM at the Carthage Learning
and Development Center on the CVS campus, 303 2nd Street, Carthage. The Hancock County
CEO Trade Show is the culminating activity of a 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 and learn more about the CEO program. The event is open to the public
and admission is free. A special ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 4 PM to mark the
beginning of the 10th anniversary of the Hancock County CEO Program.
