On Tuesday, March 18th, Wayne County CEO visited Willow Creek Venue in Fairfield, Illinois. Owner and Operator Patty Vaughan provided students with a presentation of the venue from the time she and her husband purchased the site through the transformation of the building that it is today. She explained various aspects of the construction phase as well as how they have added additional services and venue options as the business has grown. Patty's favorite event is the fall market and is always on the lookout for new and additional vendors and entertainment for the annual event. She also spends considerable time researching similar entertainment venues around the country, always on the lookout for areas of expansion for her business. Willow Creek is available for rental for meetings and corporate events, as well as weddings, showers and various parties and fundraising events. Patty has also brought in various entertainers and performers such as comedians over the years as well. Patty is a former Wayne County CEO Board member. We appreciate her time and dedication to the program and Wayne County CEO students!
