Friday, November 22, 2024 the HORST Engineering team gathered for our annual Friendsgiving celebration—a cherished tradition that brings our community together to share gratitude, enjoy delicious food, and reflect on the core values that unite us. This year’s event was truly exceptional, with over 100 attendees and an incredible spread of 40+ homemade dishes showcasing the creativity and generosity of our team.
While the food and camaraderie were enough to make the day special, 2024’s Friendsgiving marked a milestone in our company’s history with the dedication of the “Boucher Engineering Center.” This momentous occasion was a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of the Boucher family and a beloved former employee whose contributions have left an indelible mark on HORST Engineering.
The Boucher family’s commitment to HORST Engineering spans an incredible 58+ years of service. Their passion, expertise, and dedication have been foundational to our success and growth. To honor this remarkable legacy, our engineering room has been renamed the Boucher Engineering Center. This space, now bearing the family’s name, serves as a lasting reminder of the values of hard work, innovation, and teamwork they exemplified during their time with us.
The dedication ceremony was a beautiful and emotional moment. Team members gathered in the newly renamed space to reflect on the family’s contributions and the enduring impact they’ve had on HORST Engineering. The ceremony not only recognized past achievements but also set a tone for the future, inspiring all of us to continue striving for excellence and innovation.
Friendsgiving 2024 was a true celebration of community in every sense of the word. It brought together colleagues, friends, and families to honor our shared history and look forward to the future. It was a day filled with laughter, meaningful conversations, and, of course, plenty of food!
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated, from those who brought dishes to those who helped organize this unforgettable event. Most importantly, we are thankful for the Boucher family and their enduring legacy, which will continue to inspire us through the Boucher Engineering Center.
At HORST Engineering, we take pride in our commitment to fostering a workplace culture that values connection, history, and innovation. Friendsgiving 2024 was a perfect reminder of what makes our team so special.
Here’s to celebrating our past, present, and future—together!
