Weekly Roundup: Aug. 13-19 Business & Networking Events in Manchester

Gearing up for Veterans Week

Last year Chris Pastrana from NH Business Show and I teamed up to honor New Hampshire veterans by featuring seven veteran owned businesses in seven days.

We had so much fun and met so many incredible people that we decided to do it again.

The week of November 5 – 11, Chris and I will be posting video interviews and articles about local veteran owned businesses.

If you are a veteran and would like your business featured let us know.  I can be reached at buzz@queencity.buzz.  Please use “Veterans Week” in the subject line.
