More than 240 people came out to talk to the 19 employers there, said SACC Executive Director Missy Marshall. For those who couldn't make it to Wednesday's fair, a Regional Career and Job Expo is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 10 at the National Guard Armory located at 1702 State Highway 114 in Dexter.

The free event will include more than 45 employers and is sponsored by MERS/Goodwill, Missouri Career Centers, Dexter Chamber of Commerce and Workforce Investment Board of Southeast Missouri.
