Happy belated 4th, everyone! We hope you had a chance to celebrate with family and friends. More importantly, we hope you've been getting outside plenty and sending all those epic projects!

But we will make it up to you in a big way with our annual customer appreciation party at the Summer Stimulus Competition and Celebration on Saturday, August 5 at RJ Centennial (more info below). We hope to see everyone there!
