T
he Walton Area Chamber of Commerce held it’s monthly Business After Hours
networking event At Gulf Place Town Center on the scenic 30-a Corridor. A big
success and turnout, it also coincided with the Third Thursday Wine Walkabout.
Starting at the Affi nity Boutique for check-in, each person was given a wine cup
sponsored by Profi tt-PR and a map of each of the shops that had wine, snacks, and networking.
There were seventeen different stops, and getting the map signed by each store gave you a
chance to win prizes at the end of the wine walk. A perfect way to not only meet new people
and enjoy wine, but also to see what Gulf Place has to offer, and get a peek in the community
stores and meet the owners. Gulf Place holds almost weekly events and Third Thursday Wine
Walkabout every month so check them out if you missed August’s walkabout.
The Business After Hours went from 5:30-7:30 but many stuck around for more giveaways at
the market with live music and light bites. The Walton Area Chamber of Commerce holds this
monthly event at different local businesses around the area, and with its relaxed feel it’s a great
event to join in on some fun for the week with your friends and colleagues and network with
more businesses.
