Career Center “Goes to Bat”
The Carthage Chamber’s first-ever Small Business World Series is a showcase of local businesses with a baseball flavored tailgate party event on Thursday, August 30th from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. The event takes place at the historic Rock Stadium inside the Municipal Park in Carthage. The Missouri Career Center is one of the tailgate exhibits that visitors will see as they “round the bases” at the event.
“The objective for this event was to provide an opportunity for member businesses to promote goods and services to the general public in an unusual fashion at an unconventional location,” noted John Bode, President of the Carthage Chamber of Commerce. “I’d say the committee has done a great job meeting that objective.”
In addition to the unique tailgate displays, a special appearance of Louise, the Springfield Cardinals mascot is set to boost the baseball theme of the event. The Gadget Guy, aka Brad Douglas from KSN-TV, will emcee the event.
Tracy Lemmons and Deb Baugh will represent the Career Center at the event. The “tailgate booth” will feature information on services and initiatives through the center. For more information on the Small Business World Series, contact the Carthage Chamber of Commerce at 417-358-2373.
