Join HYP for a fall outing to Edgewater Farms near Townsend! 🍂🌽

We’ll explore the corn maze and enjoy the other fall festivities at the farm. This event is open to HYP members and non-members, so bring a friend or come make some new ones!

Attendees are responsible for purchasing their own admission tickets upon arrival.

Please register by 5pm on Thursday, October 22 (link in bio). We may cancel the event if we don’t have enough registrations by the deadline.

Since Montana weather can be unpredictable in late October, we may also need to cancel if the weather doesn’t cooperate. If that happens, we’ll email everyone who registered and post an update on our social media pages.

Please dress for the weather and wear shoes you don’t mind getting a little dusty or muddy!

For those interested in carpooling, we will meet at the Les Schwab parking lot in Helena at 4pm.

Join Helena Young Professionals for the first Leadership & La**rs, a new every-other-month professional development series bringing local leaders and young professionals together for practical conversations, new perspectives, and meaningful connections—all in a relaxed setting.

For our inaugural event, Helena community leader Brad Schmidt will explore leadership growth through membership: what it means to move beyond simply joining an organization and become an active participant, and how involvement in professional, civic, and service organizations can strengthen your skills, relationships, confidence, and opportunities to lead.

Brad brings experience with organizations including Toastmasters and Kiwanis, where he has taken on leadership and community-building roles.

The evening follows a simple 20–20–20 format:

- 20 minutes — Featured leadership talk
- 20 minutes — Moderated Q&A and conversation
- 20 minutes — Networking and connecting with fellow professionals

Come for the leadership. Stay for the lager—and the people you might meet along the way.

Looking for a fun way to spend your Sunday afternoon? Come join HYP for a movie hangout to watch a special screening of Studio Ghibli’s epic and dark classic, Princess Mononoke!

This event is open to both members and non-members, so bring a friend or make new ones there! Everyone’s welcome to join in the fun. You’ll pay for your own ticket and we will all try to sit together. Showtime is at 4:00pm and will meet at 3:30pm in the lobby so we can get seats together and then head to concessions. Attendees are responsible for their own tickets and concession costs.

Whether you’re a longtime Studio Ghibli fan or seeing Princess Mononoke for the first time, this is the perfect way to wind down the weekend with good company and a great film.
