$\textit{About the Event}$

Cultivating Our Village is a community-first networking event for local businesses that support parents and families.

Join us for real conversations, guided collaboration, and new connections with people who care about the same things you do.

We’ll match you with a fellow business to brainstorm ways you can work together — and make a bigger impact in our community.

Whether you run a play space, offer wellness services, create kid-friendly products, or lead community programs — this is your invitation to connect with like-minded businesses that care about the same things you do.

This event is about more than exchanging business cards. It’s about building relationships, finding aligned partners, and creating new ways to support the families in our towns — together.

$\text{Tickets}$

Limited to 20 participants, we are charging a small fee for attendance at the networking and collaboration event.
