BBQ

To celebrate recent successes at Jacobs, we took the time to have a little fun and celebrate both the successes and hard work put in by everyone at Jacobs.  The celebration lasted throughout the day with all three shifts enjoying a BBQ picnic lunch catered by Danny’s Little Taste of Texas.  Despite the cold wind, good food and fun were had by all.  In total, over 500 pounds of meat were served!
