Sip, Connect, and Get Inspired at Valley Network Happy Hour with a Purpose

Summer evenings in the St. Croix Valley were made for gathering with good people, great conversation, and a glass of your favorite local beverage. That's exactly what you'll find at Valley Network Happy Hour with a Purpose on Wednesday, July 15, from 5:00–6:00 PM at Rustic Roots Winery in Scandia.

Whether you're a local business owner, a Green Business Directory member, a sustainability enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys meeting people who care about our community, this happy hour is for you.

More Than Just Networking

Sure, you'll have the opportunity to meet new people and reconnect with familiar faces, but you'll also leave with practical ideas and inspiration you can put to use.

During the evening, Greg Sandager, owner of Rustic Roots Winery, will share how his business received a $50,000 BizRecycling grant to purchase a keg washer—an investment that helps reduce waste while supporting local business.

Curious about investing in a way that reflects your values? You'll also hear from Sabrina Fay of Bond & Devick and Jeff Riegle of Green Guardian Wealth Management as they discuss sustainable investing and answer your questions about making your money work for both you and the planet.

A Relaxed Evening with Like-Minded People

This isn't a formal seminar or a stuffy business meeting. It's a chance to unwind after work, enjoy one of the Valley's beautiful wineries, and have conversations with people who are passionate about building a stronger, healthier, and more sustainable community.

Sustainable Stillwater MN will provide light refreshments, and guests are welcome to purchase wine and other beverages from Rustic Roots Winery while enjoying the evening.

Space is limited, so be sure to RSVP by midnight on Sunday, July 12.
