On Thursday, December 11th, Lincoln Daily News hosted the class of 2026 Land of Lincoln CEO (Center for Entrepreneurial Opportunities) students. LDN owners Karen Castelein and Nila Smith spoke with the three students about the value of advertising in managing a small business and how to write effective press releases. Following those discussions, the two shared some of their experiences, including the rewards and challenges of being a small business owner in Logan County.

The students shared details of the business projects they have completed to date and talked about their plans for the LLCEO Tradeshow that will take place at the end of the school year.

Pictured from the left is LLCEO facilitator Sarah Tomaszewski, students Danielle Dueringer, Luca Massena and Drayden Neal, and LDN owners Nila Smith and Karen Castelein.
