Fair-Inspired Fun Brings Cassia Home Office Staff Together

State Fair-inspired picnic setup at Cassia with containers of Sweet Martha’s cookies, bags of cotton candy, and a basket of popcorn on a table, all prepared for employees to enjoy during the event.

To celebrate fair season and build camaraderie, the Cassia Home Office Culture Committee hosted the State Fair Cassia Picnic August 13, 2024.

Home office employees built their own walking tacos with all the fixin’s, munched on popcorn and finished with special sweet treats—cotton candy and fresh-baked Sweet Martha’s cookies.

Arguably the sweetest part of all for many employees was dunking coworkers and members of the leadership team in a dunk tank.

Intern Devon Cac, Director of support services Peter Yaeger, vice president of finance Jeff King, chief human resources officer Angela Brown, chief operating officer Matthew Kern, chief finance officer Kathy Youngquist, internal audit/compliance analyst Jason Godin and president and CEO Bob Dahl were good sports as they were dunked. Bob got quite a few laughs when he showed up in his life jacket and orange dinosaur floatie.

This was more than just a good time; it was an opportunity for employees to get together, get to know each other better, cheer each other on and support each other. We’re so grateful for everyone who made this event possible!
