We had a blast at the MWUA Annual Summer Outing on August 8th at Cumberland Fairgrounds! The day began with a hands-on GPS scavenger hunt hosted by the Technology Committee, followed by an exciting cornhole tournament led by Travis Jones of Olver Associates. Big congrats to Logan Soule and Steve Bechard for taking home the cornhole championship belts! ?? A delicious surf and turf lunch and an ice cream social (thanks, Wright-Pierce!) rounded out the fun. We also raised enough funds for a scholarship through the 50/50 raffle - huge thanks to everyone who contributed. Shoutout to our sponsors for making this amazing event possible!
