We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful fall day for our staff retreat at Critz Farms 📍Cazenovia, NY yesterday! 🍁 We painted pumpkins, took a wagon ride, sipped apple c***r and joined in a scavenger hunt. It was a wonderful chance to relax and connect as we look ahead to an exciting year of centennial celebrations!

Pets are family and The Kia Foundation Inc. helps keep them together.
