Building Connection, Building Community: Forest Ridge Business Networking Success
We had a headshots and happy hour! What happens when passionate local business owners come together? We found out last month—and wow.

Our recent Stroll Forest Ridge business networking event was one of those evenings that reminded us why we love what we do. The connections, the conversations, the genuine excitement about supporting each other—it was everything we hoped for and more.
The evening took place at the stunning After FX Spa and Salon, whose atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for authentic conversation and professional connection. We extend heartfelt gratitude to the After FX team for creating such a welcoming environment for our business partners.
Miss Amanda Hitchens, our talented photographer (and friend!), captured every smile, handshake, and "aha moment" beautifully. Her photos tell the story of what happens when the right people come together in the right space.
"The most successful communities are built on genuine relationships. When local businesses support each other, everyone wins—the entrepreneurs, the customers, and the neighborhood itself."
The evening was filled with conversations that create lasting professional relationships. Our business partners explored how their complementary services can better serve our Forest Ridge community, from wellness professionals connecting with retail partners to discovering new collaboration opportunities.
Are you a Forest Ridge business owner who wishes you'd been there? We'd love to meet you and learn about what you do. Our networking events are all about bringing together the diverse businesses that make our community so vibrant.
Every business owner has something valuable to contribute, and we believe the best connections happen when we all come together—no matter what stage your business is in or what industry you're in. Whether you're curious about partnership opportunities or simply want to connect with fellow entrepreneurs in the neighborhood, our door is always open. Let's chat about how we can all support each other and strengthen our local business community.
When we support local, we build the kind of neighborhood where everyone thrives.
