Happy Hour: It’s a Hat Affair!

It is widely known that small business owners wear many hats, and to put a fun twist to this fact, on our Happy Hour this year, we will have a Hat Theme. Grab your favorite hat and join us for an exciting evening at EGBI’s Happy Hour! Your hat could win you special prizes! There will be contests for Most Creative Hat, Unusual Size Hat, & Best DIY Hat. The winners will take home prizes.

Get creative and show off your style, this is your chance to support small business owners while having tons of fun!

Of course, this event is more than just hats. It’s about celebrating the power of community and local businesses. Every dollar raised helps support EGBI’s mission to provide accessible business workshops and one-on-one coaching to local businesses.

• The numbers speak for themselves: For every $1 invested in EGBI, the local business owners we serve report generating more than $56 in revenue in Central Texas.
