There’s something special about networking in a place with history, charm, and a view that never gets old. Last night, the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce hosted an incredible Business After Hours at the beautiful Haley Mansion, also known as the Inn at Mystic—and let me tell you, it was a night to remember.

Walking through the grand doors of the mansion, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. Business owners, entrepreneurs, and local influencers filled the space, sharing ideas, talking about upcoming projects, and making connections that just might turn into something big. There’s nothing quite like being in a room full of people who are passionate about what they do.

Between handshakes, laughs, and the occasional exchange of business cards, this event was a huge success. Events like these are exactly why being part of the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce is a game-changer—it’s a space where connections turn into collaborations, and where local businesses truly feel like a community.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the hard work of Catherine Poulin, Joe Wyatt, and their incredible team. They put together a seamless event that felt equal parts professional and welcoming, making it easy for everyone to jump into conversations and build relationships.

As the night wrapped up, I couldn’t help but appreciate just how important these moments are. Business isn’t just about what you do—it’s about who you connect with along the way and I’m happy for all the connections I’ve made so far. And in a place as vibrant as Mystic, the opportunities are endless.
