One of the best parts of Stroll is introducing residents to outstanding local businesses. But recently, we had the opportunity to bring those businesses together as well.

In May, we hosted our first-ever Stroll Business-to-Business Networking Event at Topgolf Lafayette. Partners from a variety of industries gathered for lunch, conversation, and a chance to learn more about the people behind the businesses featured in our publications.

Throughout the afternoon, business owners shared stories about how they got started, exchanged ideas, and discovered common ground. Some attendees met for the first time, while others strengthened relationships that had already begun through the Stroll community.

A special thank you goes to the team at Topgolf Lafayette for their exceptional hospitality and delicious food. They helped create a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy for everyone to enjoy the afternoon.

One thing became clear as the event unfolded: our partners genuinely enjoy supporting one another. Whether it's recommending a fellow partner to a client, sharing expertise, or simply offering encouragement, the businesses featured in Stroll are helping create a stronger local business community.

We're grateful to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success. We look forward to hosting more opportunities for our partners to spend time together and continue building relationships that benefit both their businesses and the neighborhoods they serve.
