About 50 business and civic leaders from Nevada and Fort Scott gathered for a joint chamber after-hours mixer at Hoffman Financial Services, in the Carnegie Building in Nevada on Friday. It's the second time in a year the two organizations have conducted the cross-border networking event. Pictured are Fort Scott Mayor Jim Adams (left) and Nevada Mayor Brian Leonard (right).

I think its a great leap forward for two communities like Fort Scott and Nevada to be getting to know one another again. Regional partnerships are going to be crucial to attracting new businesses to the area and the more these two towns can work together, the better it will be for us all. Kudos to the respective Chambers for organizing this effort!

This was a great event. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet business leaders from Fort Scott. Very good idea by the Chamber.

Bi-state relations are the best of both worlds.
