Stone Creek's Factory Fun Team, or as they prefer to be called The Czars
of Frolic, arranged an amazingly yummy coffee break for all the staff here last
Friday, November 9. The combination of fireside s'mores and a trial batch of
2008's Winter Blend was just the diversion we needed to welcome the approaching
weekend. (Come on, who really wants to work on a Friday anyway, huh? Crazy
people, that's who.)
To document this momentous half an hour of goofing off, we took pictures--lots and lots o' pictures. Of course, we can't post them all here, so we picked out the best shots for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
Executive Retail Manager Athena is not quite sure which end of the stick she should use. These things can be very confusing, can't they?
Eric's already into his first s'more before most staff even get there. Way to wait for the rest of us, man. Well, you're the boss.
Our Wholesale Account Manager Kendra waits patiently for her marshmallow to turn golden brown. That may take a while since she's kinda far away--get right in there, girl!
Okay, now we're rocking. The gang is starting to arrive en masse. Clockwise, there's Kendra, Jason and Dan from Maintenance, White Fish Bay Retail Store Manager Sadie, and Retail Development Director Deanna.
Jason doesn't need some kind of fancy table to assemble his s'mores--just give him a clean Factory floor and he's happy.
Athena, Dan and Tom from Production laugh heartily as they prepare for a highly anticipated sugar high.
Chris from Production demonstrates proper sipping slowly form as he kicks back with an amazing cup of our 2008 Winter Blend.
Dan is so excited about making his first s'more, he looks a bit mad, doesn't he? But in a strangely good way.
Kendra and Tom are joined 'round the fire by Christie, Design Coordinator.
Master Roaster Stephen yucks it up with Jason, but then...
both become extremely serious as they compare notes on the best marshmallow toasting techniques. This is important stuff, people!
Ladies and Germs, our lovely and talented Production Manager, Kim! And right behind her, our deliriously whacko Wholesale Account Manager, Kendra! (The s'mores are just starting to kick in, aren't they?)
Executive Sales and Marketing Manager Steve makes an appearance for the sake of his adoring fans, but Tom seems not to notice at all. Curious.
Ah, now we see why Tom was so distracted--he needed to toast yet another marshmallow into gooey submission.
Christie, Kim and Chris commiserate over Winter Blend Coffee, with a side of super sweet delight. Yeah, this was fun, wasn't it?
Thanks, Fun Team, for organizing this great Coffee Break at the Factory! We'd love to have s'more. (Now really, that just needed to be said, didn't it? Well didn't it? You're dang right it did.)
