Connections MADE: Happy Hour

Connections MADE: Happy Hour is the Mason Deerfield Chamber’s must-attend monthly networking event designed to help you unwind, connect, and raise a glass with fellow members and friends. Hosted at a different unique venue each month, this relaxed after-hours mixer combines great conversation with drinks, appetizers, and plenty of fun.

Bring your competitive spirit too! Each Happy Hour features the Happiest Hour Competition, where host venues go head-to-head for the coveted Gems of Excellence Award. This friendly rivalry celebrates businesses that go above and beyond to create an unforgettable, engaging experience—adding energy, creativity, and excitement to after-work networking.

During April's Happy Hour join us for an afternoon of Southern charm and meaningful connections at Sonder Brewing! It’s time to celebrate Derby style while mixing and mingling with fellow professionals in the community. You’ll be greeted with a welcome drink, plus enjoy one complimentary beverage on Sonder—and we guarantee you’ll make at least one great connection!

Grab your colleagues, invite your friends, and come ready to connect, celebrate, and toast in true Derby fashion! And don’t forget—you’ll have a chance to win tickets to our upcoming Greater Stakes: A Kentucky Derby Casino Soiree.

Whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting someone new, Connections MADE: Happy Hour creates a lively, welcoming atmosphere where professional and personal relationships grow naturally.
