Main Street Ottumwa invites local entrepreneurs, business owners, community leaders, and residents to attend the next Business Brew, a
quarterly networking mixer designed to connect current and prospective business owners, vendors, policymakers and customers in a relaxed, social atmosphere.
The event will be held on Thursday, February 19, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Amore Italian Restaurant, located at 334 E Main Street in downtown Ottumwa.
Business Brew provides an informal setting for professionals and community members to build relationships, share ideas and learn more about the people and businesses that help drive Ottumwa’s local economy. Each event highlights a downtown host business and the February mixer will showcase Amore Italian Restaurant, a popular dining destination in the heart of the district.
“Business Brew is all about bringing people together and making connections that strengthen our local business community,” said Kris Patrick, Executive Director of Main Street Ottumwa.
“Hosting this event at Amore gives participants a chance to experience another great downtown business while meeting new people and building partnerships.”
Admission is free and Main Street Ottumwa will provide each guest’s first drink ticket. Attendees are encouraged to bring business cards and come ready to network.
