One of Terra’s long-standing traditions is a company-wide holiday party, and that tradition continued this year with a bang! Lunch was provided by Roli Roti Gourmet Rotisserie and Catering; they rolled in, set up, and started serving within just a few minutes.

As always, company president Cassidy delivered prepared remarks in Spanish and English; this year he stressed the importance of safety,…

To keep costs down, we incorporated rivers stones that were already on site. The end result was a multi-textured,…
