The East Sac County FBLA members had a Business Field Trip Day where they visited multiple local businesses to learn about how the business was started as well as the day-to-day operations of the business. Prior to the field trip, FBLA members discussed different careers that they may be interested in and then decided which businesses that the group should visit. This year the FBLA group visited four very different businesses: Gomaco in Ida Grove, McCullough Law Firm in Lake View, State Farm Insurance and b.Well Innovative Health and Wellness in Sac City. It was a wonderful opportunity and learning experience for all. Thank you to all of these businesses for welcoming our FBLA group!

On May 14th 2025 the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) members toured three businesses to learn the history of the business and the day-to-day operations. The three businesses visited were Windstar in Carroll, Mary’s Care in Wall Lake, and First State Bank in Lake View. FBLA is a student organization where students can learn about business, network with other members and business owners, and even compete in business competitions. All members of FBLA were given this great opportunity. Our plan is to explore as many of these opportunities as possible so that the members get to see a wide array of careers in the business world. Students were exposed to three very different businesses: a family-owned bus charter company that also owns Star Destinations, Town and Country Travel, and Star Express Truck Lines; a medical clinic that offers primary care, cosmetic options, and esthetics; a bank that offers many different banking products, loans, and insurance. It was a great opportunity and learning experience. A big thank you goes out to these three businesses.
