Some Oxford County entrepreneurs gathered on the afternoon of April 3 for a warm and engaging in-person networking event at the Crafty Corner Tea Room in downtown Woodstock. The event, titled Let's Connect Over Tea, welcomed both seasoned business owners and new entrepreneurs for a casual yet impactful afternoon of conversation, collaboration, and community building.

It drew attendees from across the region who shared their stories, pitched their businesses, and highlighted how others in the room could support them through referrals or partnerships. Each participant was given two minutes to introduce themselves, their products or services, and identify their ideal client or business need.

The cozy and welcoming atmosphere of Crafty Corner Tea Room provided the perfect backdrop for authentic connections. Guests supported the local venue by enjoying a selection of teas, coffee, and delicious treats, contributing to the vibrant, small-business-friendly spirit of the gathering. LegalShield, the event host, gave a brief presentation outlining its service and income opportunities, sparking further discussion and interest among the group.
