The garrison organizational day, which took place June 7, was the first time the employees came together for such an event in over 10 years.

Over 200 Garrison employees kicked off the day with a group photo in front of the headquarters building before making their way to Nallin Pond.

“Today was a good day and I hope everyone really enjoyed themselves,” said Col. Ned Marsh, garrison commander to close out the festivities. “As I transition out of this position, I think this is something you should consider making an annual event.”

The different directorates ran a variety of games and competitions including cornhole, horseshoes, softball, archery, disc golf and longest drive.

It was also a time for people to learn more about each other, have fun and laugh.

Marsh went on to say that the event was also a way to say ‘thank you’ to employees.

“It was a pleasure being out here today and thanks on behalf of myself and Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Dills,” he said.
