The first Business After Hours event in August is set for Thursday, Aug. 8, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., hosted by UniWyo Federal Credit Union, 2020 Grand Ave.

Ross explained the events for October’s Startup Week in Laramie and the Ag Appreciation Banquet at the Gateway Center.

Melissa Ross, marketing and membership director of the Laramie Chamber Business Alliance, continues with her update of the Chamber’s fall activities.

“Oct. 4 is Startup Week in Laramie, where you pitch an idea, with a team. It’s a really fun environment to develop entrepreneurial skills. I definitely recommend businesses send their employees, or if you’re a student or entrepreneur, get involved,” Ross said.

“The following weekend we have our Ag Appreciation Dinner on Friday, Oct. 11, at the Gateway Center. This dinner is held every fall. Businesses sponsor a table, then invite ranchers and others in the ag community to join them. All the funds raised at this event go towards local and youth agricultural organizations, and a scholarship,” said Ross.

For more information or to RSVP for any of these events, call the Laramie Chamber Business Alliance office at 307-745-7339, or visit Laramie.org and see the Community Calendar link.
