Mills-A-Palooza: Food, fun, and a huge group of amazing people getting together and having a fantastic time.

By that definition, it’s clear that Mills-A-Palooza 2015 was a huge success! Our annual party, held at America’s Incredible Pizza Company this year was mad fun, literally! The theme this year was Mad Hatter (interpret how you like). Some teams came dressed in head to toe Alice in Wonderland costumes, others created homemade hats representing their communities, and some wore their favorite goofy hats. We had everything from hamburger hats to colanders to Dr Seuss and Mario & Luigi hats! From the costume madness to the delicious food and desserts provided by Incredible Pizza Company, to fun games, go karts, bumper cars, laser tag, plus fantastic prizes including an HP Stream laptop, Kindle Fire HD, liquor cooler, Fox Theatre tickets, St. Louis Cardinals tickets, and much more, it was the best Mills company party ever. And of course we can’t forget the 2nd Annual Millsy Awards!
