LoneStar's 2nd Annual Company Picnic

The LoneStar Team

July 25, 2009

This year, we held the 2nd annual LoneStar company picnic along the San Marcos River. Last year's egg toss and balloon-pop were so much fun, but this year we decide to do something a little different. We decided to have the first ever LoneStar Scavenger Hunt. We partnered the Team up and gave each mini team a list of various items to find along the river and at nearby parks. Check out the HUGE list of items our teams found. It was so much fun!
