This past Saturday, November 7, marked the soft launch of the Launch Lab program of the Winchester Clark County Entrepreneurial Academy (WCE Academy). With their grand finale and pitch night coming up on November 21st at 6:00 p.m. at the Cardinal Community Center, four groups of students were present on Saturday to promote their items. First in line was Emily Roberts, an author and jewelry maker.
