Jackson ImmunoResearch’s Annual Summer Picnic- Renaissance style!

Emma Robertson

Hear Ye Hear Ye! Jackson ImmunoResearch’s employees gathered for a Renaissance Faire themed picnic where a feast was devoured and there were games to play, creating memories that are here to stay.

Hear ye, hear ye! On Friday, June 7th, Jackson ImmunoResearch’s employees put on their best medieval costumes and gathered for the annual summer picnic. This year’s picnic brought much chatter and excitement, as it was Renaissance Faire themed. The summer picnic is an anticipated day among colleagues as it is a time to enjoy one another and celebrate the hard work of Jackson ImmunoResearch’s employees.

Employees indulged in a feast that was catered by Hood’s BBQ, which included mac and cheese, barbecued pork, brisket, and chicken and delicious dishes prepared by our colleagues. There was ice cream from Woodside Farm Creamery to follow. Once the feast concluded, it was time for the games to commence where the best lord or lady had the chance to win different prizes. The games included axe throwing, archery, jousting, the great fowl hunt (rubber ducks).

Many employees would say the highlight of this year’s picnic was the costume contest! There are many talented and artistic individuals at JIR and with the positive work environment these employees were able to embrace their creativity and medieval fashion. It was tough to determine who the winners for best dressed male and female and overall funniest costume should be.

All in all the Renaissance Faire themed picnic was a great time and more memories were created that day. Thank you to the 2024 Lunch Committee, who worked so hard to make this year’s picnic a really fun day filled with camaraderie.

If you want to be a part of the JIR family and join in on next year’s fun, take a look at our current openings below.
