Summer Outing with a Blissful Twist
On a recent, beautiful late-summer afternoon, a team-building IN OUTing morphed into a deliciously lovely surprise.
The event started with everyone dividing into two teams and going over a list of clues that would set us out on a scavenger hunt throughout our beloved North Loop neighborhood. From Spy House to Free House to Haus Salon… a “house” theme emerged.
Our teams finally converged at a rooftop patio adorned with flowers and décor for a surprise “Bridal Bash for Beth” (and our “groom” of a guest, Jared)! The gathering was complete with fun, games, prizes, and an appetizing array of savory eats — we never miss an opportunity to create a beautiful food spread and test trending flavor combos.
Cheers to sleuthINg and to Beth + Jared (September 2023)!
