Description
Mustaches, networking, train rides, and unforgettable connections… what more could you ask for?!
Join us for one of the most fun Young Professionals event of the summer, the YP Stache Crawl! Hosted in partnership with YP groups from across the area, this event is all about building friendships, growing your network, supporting local businesses, and having an incredible time while doing it.
We’ll kick things off with check-in, networking, and mingling before hopping on the train together for a multi-town crawl full of fun stops, drink specials, and new connections. When you arrive at check-in, our YP leaders will greet you, get you checked in, hand out schedules / lanyards, event details, and goodies, and help get the party started!
THE CRAWL SCHEDULE:
Benton Street Tap in Woodstock | Rookies in Crystal Lake | Tipsy Goat in Cary
At each stop, you’ll have time to hang out, network, grab drinks or food, and meet young professionals from across McHenry County and beyond!
Hosted alongside YP groups from:
• McHenry
• Crystal Lake
• Cary-Grove
• Huntley
• Algonquin/Lake in the Hills
• Woodstock
• Northwestern Illinois
SHOW UP IN YOUR BEST STASHE! We highly encourage everyone to wear mustaches, themed outfits, or custom shirts because after all… it IS a stashe crawl. Best 'real' stashe will win a trophy! goodies will be handed out, while supplies last.
Drink specials and food/snacks will be available for purchase at each location. Please note that drinks, food, and train ticket / transportation are the responsibility of each attendee.
IMPORTANT: Please register in advance so we can provide you with event details, rules, schedules, and updates to help make this event fun, safe, and successful for everyone. By registering, you understand participating YP groups may contact you about future networking events and opportunities.
Not a drinker? No problem at all! This event is just as much about networking, friendships, community, and making connections as it is about the crawl itself.
Please drink responsibly. Plan ahead with a DD, Uber, or train ride back to your vehicle at the end of the event.
We can’t wait to crawl the towns with you!
