If you stopped by the Taste of Carlinville today, you may have seen a familiar face, @maciew314 , founder of Coloring the County!

What started as a business idea in the Macoupin County CEO program has grown into something amazing. Maci has now sold 600+ copies of her locally inspired coloring books, with outreach extending as far as New Zealand!

She’s currently working on an exciting new project representing the state of Illinois, and her journey has been fueled by the skills, connections, and confidence built through her time in the CEO program.

From networking with professionals to engaging with residents and international visitors at community events, Maci continues to make Macoupin County proud.

Way to go, Maci! Keep coloring outside the lines! #MacoupinCEO #ColoringTheCounty #StudentSuccess #CarlinvilleEvents
