Thank you to all the Sponsors, Players, and Volunteers!

The 34th Annual CPG Golf Tournament was a huge success! After selling out in a day and a half, we had a wonderful turnout both on the green and with sponsorship tents on the tees! The new "Double or Nothing" hole was a big hit, and the rain held off so we had a great day for golfing!

Windy but Wonderful!

Thank you to everyone that joined us on the bridge!

A New Tool to Manage Concrete Jobsite Evaporation Rates

This is for those interested in evaporation rates at the time of concrete placement, which should be all of us!

Congratulations to all the Winners!
