Our last LOYCAL Loyal to Local networking event at Osceola Lake Inn brought together an incredible mix of business owners, professionals, creatives, and community-builders - and the energy in the room said it all.

New relationships were formed. Collaborations started. Ideas exchanged. Business support strengthened.

Huge appreciation to everyone who showed up and helped create such a welcoming and high-energy evening - and an extra BIG thank you to Fiona McColley and her amazing team for hosting us so beautifully 🌞💖

The energy in the room at this month's LOYCAL Biz-Connect Networking Event, was a powerful testament to the Greater Asheville business community! ⚡ With nearly 50 local business owners and leaders in attendance, the atmosphere was electric - and the focus was clear: building a stronger, more connected local economy.

A massive THANK YOU to our incredible host, Bryn Bird, owner of Flat Rock Cinema for hosting the event*. As always, Bryn did a phenomenal job boosting the energy in the room - and the spread of food, beer, and goodies was top-tier! 🍻🍿

* Every month we meet at a different LOYCAL member's location. Contact us if you'd like to host one of the upcoming events.

We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to the "Chef Extraordinaire," Charlotte Tanner, owner of Sugarcane and Shepherd Desserts. Those "crazy-delicious" treats stole the show - thank you, Charlotte, for your continued sponsorship and for being such a vital part of our events. ✨💖

If you couldn't make it, we missed you - but the momentum doesn't stop here. Every connection made at a LOYCAL event translates into a more resilient local economy and a ripple effect of support that powers our entire region.
