Thursday, May 21, was a beautiful day to celebrate staff with an incredible Spring Carnival put on by our CAFNR Staff Council! Attendees were treated to a hot dog lunch, popcorn, cotton candy and Kona Ice. Activities included throwing stars and axes, giant Jenga, cornhole and badminton. Face painters were also on hand to fulfill most any request, including bees, tiger stripes, flowers, sunset swirls and raccoons. Flower leis and a goodie bag were handed out to attendees on arrival. Thanks so much to CAFNR Staff Council and other staff volunteers who made it such a fun celebration! Enjoy the photo gallery!
