Once every quarter, the Barton County Young Professionals group gathers at a sponsoring business for a casual networking event designed to give people the opportunity to sign up as new YP members, volunteer for community projects, and meet new people in a fun, laid back environment.

A networking mixer is scheduled for Friday, September 8 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. at The Fieldhouse, 2817 9th Street.

Megan Barfield, with the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce, says the mixers are a great way to interact with those people between 21 and 40 years old.

Barfield says the evening will also include athletic challenges like dodgeball, football throw, and basketball knockout.
