The summer party event for the employees of Blessing Landscapes had several interactive ourdoor summer games each with prizes and extra raffle tickets to enter for prizes at the end.

The first game of the day was a chair balloon game where each team had to pop all their balloons by sitting on them.

Then was a soft bow and arrow game with a series to determine the winning team!

After the bow and arrow was lunch and then three more games. There was a egg dropping game, blower game and a water balloon fight to finish it off.

Not bad for a hot summer day!

Take part in engaging, hands-on instruction with Wednesday’s optional workshops on musculoskeletal injections; ultrasound; and splinting and casting.
