Some 150 people attended Saturday night's Christian County C-E-O Winter Banquet at the Pillars Event Center in Taylorville. The banquet, which included donated items that were sold with both live and silent auctions, was the program's winter fund raiser in order for the 16 C-E-O students to each have some one-thousand dollars in seed money to begin their business which will be featured in the program's May trade show.
Taylorville auctioneer and C-E-O board member Joe Curvey rotated the live auction duties with Drew Mickey, and 8th grade student at Taylorville Junior High School, whose goal is to become an auctioneer. Here's a litte of Drew's auctioning of an item.
Christian County C-E-O facilitator Dick Adams told Regional Radio News the banquet was entirely organized by the local C-E-O students to raise money for the class.
