Magic Bars - worth fighting for!
For the past 30 years Century Color has been celebrating the end of the busy season with an event called “pig-out”. It’s a 1755875-1226378-thumbnail.jpg
Looks like Sue's hungry!
time for all of the employees to get together to celebrate our successes, enjoy each others company, and eat eat eat!

A time to unwind :)
Since this is my first year at Century, I’ve never attended a pig-out, but from what I heard around the office, I was in for a culinary surprise. Each of the employees brought a dish to share, there was enough food to feed an army! From Deb’s kielbasa and sauerkraut to 1755875-1226387-thumbnail.jpg
Even the boss enjoys pig-out.
Suzanne’s seafood mousse and magic bars, there was a flavor for every taste bud.

After our bellies were full, we said our goodbyes and we all
settled down for a
long winters nap. Century Color wishes you a safe and joyful break, and we will see you in the new year!
