Happy St. Patrick’s Day – Chamber Style

By Andy Chandler

For The Paper

This St. Patrick’s Day morning, the Hampton Inn on the northside of Crawfordsville played host to the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce’s event, Biz and Brew.

This was a members-only gathering hosted by the Chamber, and was attended by roughly 20 people. 

According to Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Stacy Sommer, “This is only the third one we’ve done. The last one we did was last October and it was Halloween themed. Seventy people attended.”

She said the purpose of this event was for Chamber members to network with each other as well as to have fun activities put together by the Chamber as ice breakers. Activities included bingo and a photo booth for members to pose with Monty the Chamber Mascot. Breakfast was provided by the Inn and the Chamber and included coffee, biscuits and gravy. 

Sommers said the next one is May 22. While details are still being worked out, members should check later at www.crawfordsvillechamber.com or the Chamber’s social media feeds.
