Each year at our Sullivan's Holiday Party, we give our team members a "festive cabinetry challenge." In the past we've done an ugly sweater contest, gingerbread house, tree ornament and more. Each year it seems that our team members get more and more creative!
Our theme this holiday: Do You Want to Build a Snowman? As always, entries are encouraged to incorporate cabinetry and/or Sullivan's into the final piece. To say the least, we were blown away!
