On Friday, September 12, the Clarke County Fairgrounds buzzed with energy as Hob Nob in the Valley, presented by United Bank, made its debut at a new location. Hosted by the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber, the event brought together elected officials, candidates, business leaders, and community members for an evening of civic engagement and connection. Conversations over dinner, live music, and mingling underscored Hob Nob’s mission: to strengthen relationships and foster proactive engagement between government and business.
