Our September Business Happy Hour at Potluck Kitchenware brought the Laurentian Chamber community to the heart of Ely for an evening of connection, local flavor, and small business celebration.

Hosted by Kelsey Lee of Potluck Kitchenware, guests enjoyed appetizers from Sheridan Street Delicatessen and sweet treats from Northern Expressions Ice Cream (field trip included) while exploring the beautifully curated boutique kitchen store. From high-quality tools to thoughtful gifts, Potluck offers a standout selection that inspires both seasoned cooks and casual hosts alike.

Set in a restored historic building next to the newly completed mural at Puddlejumper Park, the event highlighted the vibrant spirit of Ely. Business neighbors gathered to make connections and get inspired while discussing how the Northwoods business community can get creative to maximize resources and create the next generation of entrepreneurs and volunteers.

Special thanks to the Ely Chamber of Commerce for being great friends and champions of our regional business community.

Make sure to mark your calendar for our next Business Happy Hour at Essentia Health on October 22nd. Bring a colleague or a friend and enjoy another evening of great conversations and community connections. We'll see you there!
