Last week at OBB, we had the chance to hear from Caitlyn with the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry about an exciting NEW event coming to Ottawa this summer ✨

Get ready for Debate Days - a week-long celebration packed with classic Americana fun, local history, entertainment, and community spirit from August 15th-25th! ❤️🤍💙

From old-school games and fairs, reenactments, debates, lectures, tours, a "great taste debate" featuring local restaurants, and yes - even a beard growing contest - there's truly going to be something for everyone of all ages to enjoy.

So be sure to mark your calendars for Debate Days this August, and keep an eye out for more details to come!

And if you'd like to hear more presentations like this while connecting with other local professionals, come join us at our next OBB meeting on Thursday, May 21st from 1p-2p at OSB Community Bank

The OBB Crew had a wonderful time celebrating at last week's annual dinner. It's such a wonderful reminder of how many incredible people and businesses make our community as special as it is.

A huge thank you to the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry for hosting another fantastic evening filled with celebrations and for continuing to bring everyone together.

We’re proud to support him as he takes the next step toward his future, and we hope to see his brand back in Ottawa one day. ⛳

Congratulations, C**t—we can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!
