BREAKING NEWS | WIS family and friends close the summer with its annual company picnic and softball tournament
August 29, 2009- Corona, CA
WIS family and friends get together to enjoy the last days of summer during its annual company picnic and softball tournament held at Parkview Park in Corona, CA on August 29, 2009. The day was packed with fun-filled activities for all ages. We started the day off with a little friendly competition as four teams battled for bragging rights and the coveted WIS Softball Tournament World Champion trophy followed by Fun Olympics consisting of various games from relay races, pie-eating contest, tug-o-war, and a pie-eating contest. Throughout the event, kids enjoyed three giant bouncers, kids craft stations, and a cotton candy and snow cone station to beat the heat. Lucky winners won gift cards and prizes throughout the day during the raffle giveaways and as the group enjoys a hearty Chuckwagon BBQ-style spread, WIS management honors employees during the employee awards ceremony to acknowledge and thank its employees for their unwavering commitment, hard work, and dedication that has brought WIS success through the years.
Despite the heat, this year's company picnic and softball tournament was a success and surely a day to remember!
