The next Morgantown Social NetworX (MSNX) Happy Hour will be held at Black Bear Burrito Evansdale on Thursday, November 12, from 5-8 p.m.
“Matt and I are honored to host this event for long-time customer Mary Ulch and Morgantown Social NetworX,” says Jason Coffman, owner of Black Bear Burritos and Black Bear Evansdale. “It has been and always will be our desire to pair with organizations sharing the interest of local small business.”
For nearly 13 years, Black Bear Burritos has served a wide range of ethnic cuisines prepared using the freshest ingredients and offered in a unique Appalachian atmosphere that embraces the cultures, art and music of West Virginia as well as Morgantown. The restaurant mostly touts nontraditional burritos, wraps, tacos and quesadillas, fusing different ethnic flavors while incorporating many locally sourced ingredients. Black Bear also has an extensive selection of premium and craft beers on tap and house-made margarita pints.
Black Bear Burrito has two locations in Morgantown: one downtown and one in Evansdale where Happy Hour will be held. The restaurant provides free live music on a regular basis. On November 12, The Masons (www.themasonsacoustic.com) will be performing at the event starting at 6:30 p.m.
“Black Bear Burritos has been a staple in this community,” says Teddy Ryan Edwards, president of business development for SiSu Concierge Services. “The pairing of having a MSNX Happy Hour at the Evansdale location is a great opportunity for local business owners and their company representatives to network that normally would not have the outlet to do so. I know it has been helpful for growth of my concierge business.”
“MSNX has been so beneficial for me on both a personal and professional level,” says Suzanne McClain, customer manager in Merck’s oncology division and an attendee of the MSNX Happy Hour events. “It has provided me with a way to reconnect with the social scene and make new friends. These days with job hunting, networking is so critical. It’s not just putting in an application and interviewing. A lot of times, people have a candidate in mind before the interview process starts, and that is where the networking and referrals count. People I have met have been wonderful in helping me with referrals for my son who is thinking about relocating to Morgantown and is looking for a job.”
Happy Hour pricing for the MSNX group will include $1 off all 20 draft pints and $1 off glasses of wine. Black Bear will provide a complimentary platter of the Big 12 nachos for all Happy Hour attendees to sample.
Free parking is available in the adjacent lot at Black Bear Evansdale.
