Inside IES San Antonio’s Family Day 2024

IES San Antonio left the burgers and hot dogs at home and instead served up community and camaraderie at their 2024 annual company picnic.

With warmer weather and more hours of sunlight, IES San Antonio held their annual company picnic on April 27th, 2024 uniting all IES San Antonio satellite offices for a day of fun and family. The annual event aims to build camaraderie between team members while simultaneously being a special thanks to them and their families.

Hosted at Pedrotti’s Ranch, IES members eagerly anticipated the main game-competition in which individuals get to team up with their satellite office and face off against other office locations for individual trophies and cash prizes! This year, members enjoyed a friendly, but competitive, game of Jenga!

From 12pm to 4pm, members and their children enjoyed unlimited games, treats, and activities like face painting, caricature art, magic shows, trivia, karaoke, waddle ball races and shoe accuracy kicking contests. “It’s a big group of people having a lot of fun,” says Jeniffer Shipley, IES San Antonio Head Contract Administrator. The company picnic hosted approximately 300 people with a little something for everyone. “They have two bouncy houses for the little ones, and everybody stays pretty busy the whole time they’re there,” says Shipley, “It’s pretty fast-paced.” For lunch, IES San Antonio enjoyed a ‘South of the Border Buffet’ prepared by Pedrotti’s executive chef and culinary team, and afterwards the event came to an end with members enjoying bingo before heading home.

“We’ve had a good time every time we’ve gone. Besides being great fun, it is super for team building,” says Shipley.
