First Entrepreneur Night Held at City Campus
The Business Innovation Group (BIG) hosted the first-ever Entrepreneur Night at City Campus in downtown Statesboro on Tuesday, January 26, 2016. More than 40 local entrepreneurs, graduate students and faculty gathered for an informal evening of networking. This monthly networking event is designed to connect local entrepreneurs and small business owners with one another in a casual setting while enjoying a complimentary beverage from Eagle Creek Brewery.
Franklin Dismuke, owner of Eagle Creek Brewery, was impressed with the number of entrepreneurs at the event. “It is encouraging to see the growth in the local small business and entrepreneur sector in Statesboro,” he stated.
Local entrepreneur Chad Montgomery of 4&20 Bakers (4and20bakers.com) surprised everyone with event-themed mini cupcakes. These chocolate ganache-filled, stout-infused, bite-sized morsels were a huge hit. So much so that Sally Minton, owner of Boro Takeout Express, offered to provide food for all upcoming Entrepreneur Nights.
Entrepreneur Night was a tremendous success. Thanks to everyone who attended and brought such life and energy to City Campus after hours.
Entrepreneur Night will be held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at City Campus (58 East Main Street, Statesboro, Georgia). If you would like to attend one or more of these events, please contact Jill Johns at jjohns@georgiasouthern.edu or RSVP via evite athttp://evite.me/wvATCfFXz9.
