As part of Small Business Week in Airdrie, the Mayor's Business Appreciation Evening is happening Wednesday, Oct. 19 at City Hall. Mayor Peter Brown says it's an opportunity to network with Airdrie businesses and make valuable connections.

Although Airdrie Economic Development requested RSVP's from those planning to attend, they do emphasize it's a drop-in event from 5 to 8 pm at City Hall on Main Street. There'll be light refreshments and a cash bar.
