ST. PATRICK'S DAY FUN
EMPLOYEES FIND THE END OF THE RAINBOW!
For St. Patrick's day, Parallel employees enjoyed a day full of mischief and a pinch of luck. A mysterious little green man hid two pots of gold at the end of the rainbow and two of our employees were able to find them! Haley Strange and Justin Woodruff were the two lucky winners of a Target gift card and the prestige of nabbing the Leprechaun's stash! We also enjoyed a happy hour with green food, green punch and "Pin-the-Shamrock on the Leprechaun." Hilarity ensued as various Parallel folk either found their way to the Leprechaun or pinned the Shamrock somewhere else entirely! Check out our gallery of the event!
