There were tons of great food, and lots of fun fellowship. Plaid employees love to get together, and celebrate the holidays. Many people wore their most tacky Christmas outfits, or added a Santa hat to their ensemble. During the luncheon we ate, laughed, and played games. Plaid’s President, Mike McCooey, even dressed up as one of the three wise men, and conducted a fun raffle. The winners of the raffle were given an extra vacation day! We here at Plaid know how to have a good time, and everyone did exactly that at this event. Happy Holidays to you and yours from Plaid Enterprises
