Exciting Changes to Business After Hours in 2026

We’re thrilled to announce some great news for our Chamber members: starting in 2026, not only can you attend Business After Hours events free of charge, but we are also waiving the hosting fee!

If you’ve ever wanted to showcase your business space and connect with the local business community, now is the perfect opportunity to host one of these popular events. Hosting allows you to put your business in the spotlight and build stronger relationships with fellow members.

Here’s what hosting involves:

• When: The event takes place on the third Wednesday of each month from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM.

• Hosting responsibilities: Typically, the host provides light appetizers and two drink tickets for beer or wine per guest. If drink tickets aren’t possible, some hosts offer discounted beer and wine during the event.

• Raffle items: We ask hosts to supply 4 to 6 raffle prizes to help boost attendance and encourage participation.

• What we handle: The Chamber takes care of all marketing, promotion, and event logistics, so you can focus on welcoming guests and networking.

Spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, with bookings opening for dates starting in April 2026.
