Our employees got into the holiday spirit by hosting several fun activities and contests in December. Our Maple Grove staff held their annual Holiday Week of Fun and our Fargo staff enjoyed a day filled with Christmas activities. Below are highlights from the activities enjoyed by all.
Deck the Halls: Cubicle and Office Decorations
Employees busted out their creativity using festive lights, garland, ornaments, and some even converted their cubes into mini cozy homes. The creative displays made for a merry and bright atmosphere in the offices.
Giving Back
HEI employees showed their generosity and embraced the giving spirit; it's what the holidays are all about! Maple Grove staff collected Toys for Tots for families in need of new Christmas gifts and Fargo staff had a food-supply drive competition for the Great Plains Food Bank.
Beer Exchanges
A favorite event held each year: the beer exchange. Staff took home a mix-six-pack after a fun game of musical beers.
Pet Photo Contest
HEI's employees have a fondness for their furry family members and didn't want to leave them out of the holiday fun. Maple Grove staff dressed up their pets (or their habitats) and submitted photos for a fun contest. Ultimately, the sleepy puppy Emmit Bowles took the grand prize and will be enjoying some new treats from PetCo.
Santa-Palooza
Santa made a special stop at HEI's Fargo office. Staff and their families got to take a photo with Santa and enjoy an evening of crafts, games, and tasty treats.
Games Galore
Games aren't just for kids. Staff at HEI participated in a variety of creative games, from a holiday spin on one of American's favorite game shows that tested employee's spelling knowledge to the trending
Saran Wrap Ball Game, employees got to embrace their inner child.

Hope everyone had a joyous holiday season celebrating with their loved ones! See you in 2018!
