Wilsonville’s Christmas Party Returns to the Holiday Inn
Jennifer and Bill making announcements
After a two-year hiatus, the Wilsonville holiday party returned to the local Holiday Inn. Holiday parties are often the highlight of the year, as they allow employees to mix and mingle leisurely without thinking about work, and this year’s affair did not disappoint.
The doors opened at 6:00 for an hour of cocktails, socializing, and appetizers. Funny money for gambling was dispersed, and Wild Bill’s set up a roulette wheel, black jack tables, and a craps table, and an exciting evening of gambling was ready to roll. There was also an air hockey table and a ping pong table for live-action fun, and bingo for those who wanted to remain at the tables and visit with friends, family, and co-workers.
In case you missed Greg…
The dinner menu was superb – boasting flavorful pork, salmon, prime rib, and chicken entrees with a host of sides and vegan dishes available as well. Desserts were, as always, plentiful and delicious. One can say a lot of things about holiday office parties, but one thing is for certain—you never leave a Houston’s party hungry!
While the food, activities, and prizes are always popular year-after-year, the highlight of this year’s party was the attire of one specific member of the Board of Directors. If you didn’t happen to see Greg Estes in his “off the rack” polyester holiday suit, we’re not sure you were at the right party—the suit was bright red and sported a snowman and Christmas tree print – definitely hard to miss.
Our new Human Resources Director, Dana McGowan, offered up her own holiday fun when she took on the task of announcing prize winners. Great gifts were raffled off to some very lucky winners, including a 55″ TV, a drone, a Shark vacuum cleaner, and a variety of gift certificates to stores, restaurants, and hotels.
The Kansas City warehouse is gearing up to bring in the holiday season with their Christmas Party on December 10th. We look forward to hearing all about it!
