We’ve all heard of speed dating, but how about speed friending? Ozark Beer Company is not only making great craft beer, but also making opportunities to connect people within the community to make new friends. This "speed friending" event works like speed dating, but with the objective of making new friends. As we age, it may feel more and more difficult to create real, genuine friendships. And having friends is important to us both physically and mentally. According to William Chopik, a professor of psychology at Michigan State University, “friendships become even more important as we age. Keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and well-being.”
