The Christian County CEO students were back in the Miller Media Group Radio Stations, speaking on their efforts preparing for Chillifest and their next possible business ventures. The 21 students have prepared since the start of the school year for their first small business centered around providing caramel apple boats topped with sweet treats at Chillifest.

The students find the CEO program so valuable because they are treated as business professionals. Their daily morning meeting often includes discussion and deliberation on proper business moves, creating real-life scenarios for the students to navigate.

Mylie Sims, who serves on the marketing and investor relations teams says that decisions are put up for vote multiple times per day.

These friendly debates and discussions have led the CEO program to their first small business event in Chillifest. Both the caramel apples and mel-O-cream doughnuts were sourced locally. This was one aspect where the students used their newly developed business sense.
