As the school year comes to a close, so too does this year’s edition of the Christian County CEO program. With a record number of CEO students, this group was split into a morning and afternoon class session, and all of them are putting their hard work to the test at the Christian County CEO Trade Show. 26 students will be showcasing their personal businesses for the community to learn about. The Trade Show comes on the heels of a successful pickleball tournament and ‘Investor Breakfast’ the program hosted.

Nellea Polley, Laura Wayman, and Ben Wamsley, senior students in the Christian County CEO Program, first talk about the pickleball tournament at the Christian County YMCA.

Wamsley shares about the ‘Investor Breakfast’ and why its so important to the program to show thanks for the communities support.

The Christian County CEO Trade Show is where all their work comes together. Wamsley and Wayman discuss the efforts behind the event.

As for their own personal businesses? Wayman created ‘Farm Girl Flowers,’ Polley started ‘Refined Hat Company,’ and Wamsley honored his grandfather’s love of candy making, with ‘Forest Blues Candy.’

What has the experience meant to them? All three say they’ve changed for the better thanks to the CEO program.
