This week we celebrated 30 years of employment for Kevin Axon. Kevin is currently our Operations Manager at our Oshkosh facility. He started out at the Hydrite Waterloo facility in 1988, where he held various positions. In 2005, he took over the operations position for retiring Dick Strand. Kevin’s wife Sandy and his son, Mike joined the facility for a celebratory lunch. Thank you for your hard work, Kevin, and congratulations on this accomplishment!
We held our Visalia annual picnic on last Saturday at the Riverway Sports Park in Visalia. This year we had 100 guests in attendance to enjoy getting to know the real families behind our Hydrite employees. Beyond great conversation and laughs, our guests enjoyed the obstacle course, rock climbing wall, bungee trampolines, family games, face painting, a taco bar and Rosa Brothers Ice Cream. We ended the day with a raffle for prizes from Sequoia Brewing, Uline and Hydrite. Every family went home with a pumpkin to celebrate the beginning of the fall harvest season.
Ten of our Cottage Grove employees participated in the highway clean-up yesterday and it was a success – despite the threatening clouds, wind, and autumn chill! They picked up the area and found some interesting items that caused a great deal of laughter along the way. Thank you to all who helped! This was our last Adopt-a-Highway outing until Spring 2019…stay tuned until then for the next event.
We have made Deloitte's top 75 list for Distinguished Performers in Wisconsin!

A few weeks ago we had a team of employees help out at the Urban Ecology Center in the Menomonee Valley, removing cow thistle from the prairie. It was a great afternoon, spending time outside in the Milwaukee area.
