Chambers, others join Virtual Happy Hours to benefit restaurants

Business organizations throughout the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado have joined an effort to generate business for regional restaurants.

Virtual Happy Hours are being organized by BizWest Media LLC and will occur via the Zoom platform from 3-4 p.m., April 30, for the Boulder Valley, and from 3-4 p.m., May 1, for Northern Colorado.

Restaurant owners are invited to participate at no charge via Zoom for quick one-minute presentations on a special deal available to webinar attendees — perhaps a discount for takeout or delivery, or purchase of a gift card. BizWest will design and run a slide show featuring up to 45 restaurants in each session.

Joining the effort thus far are the Boulder Chamber, the Broomfield Chamber of Commerce, the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce, the Greeley Downtown Development Authority, the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, the Longmont Chamber of Commerce, the Louisville Chamber of Commerce, the Loveland Chamber of Commerce and the Superior Chamber of Commerce.

“Restaurants are suffering during the current economic recession,” said Jeff Nuttall, publisher of BizWest. “We think this will be a way to draw attention to important local establishments and, hopefully, bring some business to them.”
