On Thursday, Nov. 21, the Sanborn Central gym was full of representatives from businesses and colleges who had been invited there to speak to high school students about what their company or university has to offer for their future. They were asked to attend the college/career fair by Sanborn Central senior Bryce Larson, who organized the event as his senior project requirement.

In choosing who to ask for the event, Larson wanted to have a wide variety of options to try to reach everyone’s interests. “I didn’t want the fair to just be another career fair.
