2016 Banyan Company Picnic

 

On 4/17/2016, Banyan Air Service had their Annual Company Picnic at Markham Park. This year, over 200+ teammates and their family members attended. It was a sunny beautiful day filled with fun activities, good music, delicious food, and friendly competition for all ages.

• Banyan Obstacle Course (An intense relay race with zigzagging through cones with balloons in between legs, shaking ping pong balls out of Kleenex boxes wrapped around the waist, crab-walk to eat a donut on a string, potato sack hopping to a flip cup match, egg racing to a cookie challenge then spin on a bat to a dizzy word scrabble finale)

The mystery phrase in the last game of the obstacle course is also the Banyan motto: WINNING TOGETHER AT BANYAN! The Blue team won the race as well as took home the gold as the 1st place winner in the Banyan Olympics!
At Banyan Air Service, they believe that great teams can do anything and that attitude and people skills are just as important as technical knowledge. Employees are not just employees, they are teammates and family. Work hard, play hard!
