2025 Monthly Networking Opportunities
Join Us for the Barton County Chamber’s Monthly Networking Events!
We’re excited to announce a new way for our community to connect and celebrate what makes Barton County such a great place to live and do business. Every second Thursday of the month in 2025, the Barton County Chamber will host Networking Events designed to bring our people together—whether you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or community member.
These events will offer a chance to meet new people, learn about local businesses, and celebrate the amazing individuals and organizations that make our community thrive. Come for the connections, stay for the conversations, and let’s grow our network and community together!
Our hosts will determine if the event will be a Morning Coffee or an After-Hours Event.
There will be no charge or sponsorships offered, but the hosts will provide coffee or snacks for attendees.
