“Pirates of Honey Creek” Storm Moravia

On July 21-22, 2011, over 75 members of the asphalt family came together for a day of fun on the water and a night of great food, revelry and camaraderie at the beautiful Honey Creek Resort on Lake Rathbun. The 3rd Annual APAI Beach Party featuring the “Pirates of Honey Creek” theme was another resounding success as the popularity of the family-friendly event continues to grow.

On Friday morning, the 3rd Annual Beach Party Golf Open was held under clear skies. The temperatures were exceptionally high but the golf scores were exceptionally low. Congratulations to this year’s winning team, with an 11-under 61, Brad Henningsen, Kendra Hanson, Emily Bruner, and Kyle Bruner. Photos of the 2011 APAI Beach Party and Beach Party Open can be viewed here.

APAI contractor and associate members have found this event is an opportunity to take a short break from the hard work and long hours, and celebrate both our fraternal and asphalt families. If you haven’t been able to make a Beach Party yet, make time in your schedule for fun, music and laughter on July 19th -20th, 2012 at the 4th Annual APAI Beach Party. A special thank you to Steve Rooney of Manatts and Tania Rosener for all your hard work in putting this event together and to all our sponsors for supporting this tremendous event.
