Fifteen area entrepreneurs had the opportunity to wade in friendly shark-infested waters Tuesday night at North Central State College's Urban Center.

The students were taking part in a "Shark Tank" event designed after the television show where the entrepreneurs pitch their business plans before a panel of local experts.

This is the second such shark tank event held at the Urban Center with the first one having been a resounding success.

The Urban Center is starting a new class beginning in January and if anyone is interested, contact them for more details.
