Scheduled for April 16, 2024, at Dry Lake Brewing in downtown Great Bend, Pints & Politics promises an afternoon of lively discussions, networking opportunities, and insider insights into the world of politics and business.
Pints & Politics is not your ordinary political affair; it's a dynamic "happy hour" where members and their guests can mingle, connect, and exchange insights with fellow business leaders and elected officials from Great Bend, Barton County, Kansas, and the US.
