A high school entrepreneurship program is gearing up for one of its milestone events later this month.

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, Central Illinois CEO students Israel Ramirez and Paisley Schick told the Hart Media Group they have sold out its mystery theater dinner tickets for its event on Jan. 31, but they have roughly 75 still available for the Feb. 7 event.

Facilitator Melanie Brown explains the murder mystery dinner is part of the program's class business and says it has been fun to watch the students put this together because a small competition is brewing between last year's class and her group this year.

Brown also reminds the class business then becomes a springboard for the individual businesses the students take on throughout the second semester.

Additionally, CEO is in the midst of recruiting for next year's class. We'll have more with Brown on that process in the days ahead at the Hart Media Group.
