Spring Networking Extravaganza

Our thanks again, to our Columbine Sponsor for the Spring Networking Extravaganza - Grand County Business and Economic Development Association. With BEDA's help, this years' Extravaganza saw a record number of attendees and was a huge success.

Special thanks also goes out to Fontenot's for the use of their wonderful restaurant. We would not be able to host this event without the help of our other sponsors, which include: Fraser Farmers' Market and Grand County Blues Society for their Tulip Sponsorships. Day Dream Crafts, Avalanche Car Rentals, Frank Expressions, Hiratsuka & Schmitt, LLP and Trude Kleess for the Daffodil Sponsorships.

Our continued thanks to Maria of the Winter Park Fraser Valley Chamber of Commerce for her energy and enthusiasm in producing this event!
