Barn & Business Breakfast returns for 7th-annual free networking, learning event

Posted on February 9, 2023

Whether a manufacturing business, service provider, sales distributor or farm, every organization in Kosciusko County can gain something from the upcoming Barn & Business Breakfast.

Barn & Business is hosted by Kosciusko County Community Foundation and Kosciusko County Farm Bureau. The event will be held on Tuesday, Mar. 7 from 6:30-8:45 a.m. at the Winona Heritage Room, 901 Park Ave., Winona Lake, IN 46590.

Dr. Wornell will share key points from her research and how they apply to Kosciusko County.
