2026 Ames Regional Economic Alliance Steak Fry

Join us for one of most anticipated gatherings of business and community leaders hosted by the Ames Regional Economic Alliance. The 2026 Steak Fry, presented by HyVee and Northwest Bank, brings together past chairs of the Ames Regional Economic Alliance as well as professionals from across the region for an evening of great food, meaningful connections, and casual conversation that drives collaboration and opportunity.

Whether you’re a longtime member or new to the community, this is a relaxed, come-as-you-are event where relationships are built over a perfectly grilled steak.

As part of this year’s Steak Fry, we’re serving up a chance to take home an incredible prize package featuring an Ooni Pizza Oven and a collection of pizza-making accessories! Raffle tickets are $20 per entry and can be added to your registration or purchased until 6:20pm during Steak Fry!
