The James Memorial will be transformed into a lively networking center from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., giving a laid-back and welcoming environment for area business leaders to connect. But this isn't your typical meet-and-greet; it contains everything you need to make it an unforgettable evening.

Great food, music, and some door prizes will all be up for grabs

This is one of your final opportunities to enjoy Pit 105's flavors before they close later this month, as they will be catering the event and are known for their amazing BBQ. Come with an appetite to indulge in some of the best cuisine this local favorite has to offer! If you see some cornbread, take 2 pieces because it is the best around!

Live performances by local artists Chelsea Hill, Rhonda Bartlette, and Josey Nickles will add to the setting and provide the perfect setting for the evening. Their performances will please everyone, regardless of musical preferences.

And without prizes, what good is a fantastic event? For those who want to explore their creative side, attendees will have the opportunity to win a $100 art class gift ticket and a complimentary rental (up to $225 in value).

A Storytelling Location

The James Memorial Art Center is a part of Williston's past in addition to being a stunning location. The structure was first constructed in 1909 by the Women's Civic League as a library, thanks to funding provided by Arthur Curtiss James in memory of his father, D. Willis James. Thanks to a committed group of preservationists in the early 1990s, it was converted into an art center after serving as Williston's primary library until 1983. It now serves as evidence of the city's dedication to the arts and community.

Don't Pass This Up

Whether you want to network, enjoy delicious food, or admire the historic coolness of the James Memorial, Business After Hours is the perfect place to be. Make it a fun evening by inviting a buddy and your coworkers!
