Several local businesses were in attendance including Wal-Mart, Chik-fil-A, Best Ambulance, and the Beckley Sanitary Board.

Site Coordinator for Communities in Schools, Lindsay Flanagan, said hosting a fair at this time of year is important for the sophomores and juniors.

“[T]hat’s why we held this when we are, towards the end of the year, so that they can get summer jobs and be productive during the summer,” said Flanagan.

Several businesses encouraged students to sign up for possible interviews and also gave away freebies to encourage students to apply.

The event was focused on sophomore, juniors, and seniors and was held in Van Meter Stadium.
