Summer is a time for family, friends and fun. In light of summer coming to an end and fall rolling in, O&P News takes a look at how O&P practices and companies spent the time together.
While some groups went head-to-head in games of tug-of-war, others dug into a meal at their summer picnic. While some posed for a new group photo, others climbed the tallest peaks in Idaho.
O&P News also included a few photos from its own “Summer Fest,” where staff tossed bean bags, pulled ropes and got a little bit wet in the rain. Summer certainly brought good times here, and hopefully it did for your company and O&P company as well.
