Smith-Dahmer Associates Celebrate the Holidays Amidst Snow Flurries and Frigid Temperatures.

December’s extreme wintry weather didn’t affect the holiday festivities at Smith-Dahmer. SDA’s St. Joseph office celebrated with a fireside dinner at the Tabor Hill Winery in Buchannan, Michigan. Between courses, Santa and Ms. Claus paid a surprise visit for a few photo ops and to offer Associates a final chance to get off the naughty list before Christmas.

A few frozen states away, the Minneapolis office celebrated at one of the Twin Cities’ hotspots, the Bryant Lake Bowl. Associates mingled around the scoring tables, enjoying appetizers, cocktails and the occasional gutter ball. Each office party featured the annual “Dollar Gift” exchange in which employees exchange everything from lip balm to avocados.

In each office, we look forward to these parties every year. The holidays are a great time to take a break from the grind and enjoy each other’s company. It’s just like with family (only sometimes the small talk is better).
