Chamber Pot Speed Round 
Add a little fun to your networking at Business After Hours with our Chamber Pot Speed Round.
Guests are encouraged to bring a small gift (low-cost and ideally purchased from a local Chamber member). Drop your business card into the Chamber Pot, and when your name is drawn, step up to give your best elevator pitch or quick promotion. Then pass your gift to the next speaker.
There’s also a White Elephant twist. If another gift catches your eye, you may choose to swap.
Keep it, or swap it — but decide before your pitch ends.
To keep things fair, the first speaker gets the final choice at the end of the round.
It’s a lighthearted way to introduce your business, support fellow members, and spark a little laughter along the way.

Six evenings. Real connections. One vibrant business community.
Our Business After Hours networking receptions are designed to bring Chamber members together in meaningful, relaxed settings that spark conversation, collaboration, and community pride. Rather than monthly events year-round, we’re focusing on six signature gatherings—held in May, June, July, August, September, and October—to create more intentional, high-value experiences for our members.
Business After Hours usually take place on the 3rd Thursday of the month from 5:30–7:00 PM, featuring a Chamber member as the host or event partner and centered around a business story or learning opportunity. Each evening blends networking with a short business spotlight or learning opportunity, giving members a chance to connect while discovering new ideas, services, and partnerships.
October is our grand finale. In keeping with tradition, the Chamber co-hosts Business After Hours with the Landmark’s Chili Cook-Off, and this final gathering opens the doors to the entire community—a festive celebration of business, food, and local connection.
New to networking? We’ve got you.
If you’re attending your first Business After Hours, we’ll happily pair you with a seasoned Chamber member who can make introductions and help you feel right at home.
Whether you’re building relationships, growing your visibility, or simply enjoying time with fellow business owners, Business After Hours is where our business community comes together—after hours, on purpose.
