What a wonderful turnout at the Barn's Business after Hours networking! Everyone enjoyed the great company and catching up with members we had not seen in a while, and food catered by several of our local businesses, The Kast Net, Posey's and Mineral Springs Seafood, did not leave anyone hungry. Our wonderful host, Niraj Patel, had lots of door prize drawings and special sales for the evening. The large selection of craft beer, wine, specialty drinks and other spirits sparked many discussions for Father's Day purchases. Either of the two locations at 1970 Woodville Hwy., or 1306 Coastal Highway in Panacea have great inventory and will give you plenty of options locally.
