PVS spent the last week celebrating the end of summer with a horseshoe tournament and our annual Summer Sizzler.

We had 13 teams for horseshoes this year, that’s 26 employees! Games were played during the week, and competition was fierce! Our first place winners were Mike Becker and Mark Beccard. Followed closely by Emiley Ryckman and Mario Moreno. Our winners received a cash prize, trophy and bragging rights!

On Tuesday, September 27th, all employees met for a cookout to finish out the summer weather. Everyone walked away happy and very full!

Congratulations to our horseshoe winners and THANK YOU to all of our employees for your dedication and hard work!
