There wasn’t even an entrepreneur class at the Underwood School this year, but that didn’t stop several students from Underwood and surrounding schools from signing up for another year of entering the Entrepreneur Expo.
The annual fair and business showcase is set for Wednesday, March 2, at the Vonderheide Gymnasium at Underwood, and the exhibits are open to the public starting at 9 a.m., throughout the day until 2 p.m. when awards will be presented.
