Small businesses are in the spotlight this week.

The Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Week began Oct. 16 with two seminars during the day and a Business After Hours networking event later that evening.

On the second floor of Zota Beach Resort, chamber members mingled while enjoying hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Live music wafted throughout the room as members visited vendor booths and shared their business’ mission.
