“What’s Galentine’s Day? Oh, it’s only the best day of the year…ladies celebrating ladies.”
– Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation
Officially held the day before Valentine’s Day, the Parks and Recreation inspired Galentine’s Day celebrates women, friendship, waffles and mimosas. Basically all the best things in life. While not all of these events are happening on February 13th, they all have one mission – to celebrate the women in your life and the friendships you have!
It’s actually better they’re not all on the same day. That means you can attend more than one!
2nd Annual Galentines Day for Boss Babes
Inspired by a notoriously hard-working character with a big heart, Heather Moran and Gina Mo are pairing up to celebrate our local business-owning and entrepreneur ladies who work so hard. This event has NOTHING to do with love and EVERYTHING to do with getting loved on. If you believe you work hard (and maybe you struggle to give yourself some fun or relaxation time), we want you to join us for an afternoon of music, mimosas, food, games, and fun with like-minded local boss babes.
100% of silent auction and ticket proceeds from this event will go to LSS CHOICES, a local nonprofit supporting victims of domestic violence. So even if you are unable to attend, please consider donating through the ticket link.

Time: 1 PM – 3:30 PM
Location: The Nest Coworking – 1245 South Sunbury Road, #102, Westerville, OH 43081
