🍻🚲🛶 Introducing: WPP Newest Event!

Get ready to mix business with the best of Wisconsin’s outdoor fun! The WPP Downtown Chapter invites you to our first-ever Beer, Bike & Paddle Happy Hour at the stunning Biergarten at Olbrich Park—a true Madison gem right on the shores of Lake Monona.

🌿 Here’s what to expect:
Bring your bike and join fellow members for a casual ride along Madison’s scenic lakefront paths, or pack your kayak and enjoy a relaxing paddle on the water. After working up a thirst, gather at the Biergarten—famous for its laid-back atmosphere, picnic tables under shady trees, lake views, and refreshing selection of German beers and local favorites.

🍺 Enjoy great conversation, build new connections, and meet potential referral partners—all while soaking up the warm breeze and the Wisconsin summer vibe.

This is networking the “Wisconsin Way”: outdoors, active, and with a beer in hand.
