We love spooky season! Check out these scenes from last month's Halloween party. Costumes were encouraged, and our team members showcased their incredible creativity.
 
The Best Costume Award went to Grace Cook, Samantha Davis took home the Most Original Costume Award, and Heather Devantier won the "I Wish I Had Thought of That" Award! Many thanks to all who participated and made the day so fun!

Even the rain couldn’t keep the fun away! Members of our team and their families got together for a memorable fall outing at Kimball Farm. The team connected over a meal and drinks, ice cream, and some exhilarating bumper car action. Thank you to each and every one of you who came out to spend time together!
