Welcoming fall at Gard – with a quick look back to summer


Welcoming fall at Gard – with a quick look back to summer

Summer 2022 is officially behind us.

Before we get too far into autumn and all the client work that awaits in the coming season, we thought we’d take a quick gander back at a highlight of the summer for the crew here at Gard – our company picnic.

The Gard team staying cool at Wallace Park in Northwest Portland.

Held on a hot summer’s day in the shade of the tall trees at Wallace Park in Northwest Portland, the picnic gave the Gard team some down time to catch up over great food, drinks and even a little corn hole and badminton. Some old friends dropped by – including longtime Gardians Scott Sparling and Anne Mangan – as did some new ones, including our new creative copywriter, Emily Hausman.

Portland photographer Stephen Grossman came by and took a few photos, as well. We couldn’t use them all, but click through the gallery here for a few highlights.
