Guest blogger Jerry the Skeleton is in the office today recapping VRSA’s 2019 Halloween costume and pumpkin carving winners.
It was a ghoulish good time at the Virginia Risk Sharing Association (VRSA) today, and while there was not a ghost or goblin in sight, the camaraderie around staff was a delight.
First up, the pumpkin carving winners who skillfully sliced their orange gourds.
