Big Tex, Big Smiles & Bigger Memories: Our Annual Wilkins Family Day at the State Fair of Texas
What do you get when you mix great people, family fun, and a few fried treats? Another unforgettable day with Wilkins Group, Inc. at the State Fair of Texas! This year’s Family Day was everything we love about being part of a team that values connection, community, and good old-fashioned Texas fun.
From the moment Big Tex waved his warm, Texas-sized greeting, we knew it was going to be a day to remember. The air buzzed with laughter, music, and the irresistible scent of classic fair food — from funnel cakes to corn dogs piled high with mustard. Everywhere you turned, there were smiles: kids showing off stuffed animal prizes, teammates cheering each other on at the ring toss, and parents sharing a quiet moment over giant turkey legs and fried Oreos.
Celebrating Connection Beyond the Office
There’s something truly special about stepping away from our desks and spending time together as a team — not just as coworkers, but as people. At Wilkins Group, Inc., we know that building strong relationships beyond the office walls helps us work better together every day. Family Day isn’t just about the rides and games; it’s about connection, laughter, and community. It’s about seeing the many sides of our team — the parents, the partners, the goofy, fun-loving spirits who bring warmth and energy to every corner of our workplace in Richardson, TX, and nearby communities.
Throughout the day, we saw countless examples of what makes our company such a special place to work. The simple joy of sharing a meal, watching little ones beam with pride after winning a prize, or hearing stories that don’t come up in the break room — these are the moments that build stronger bonds and lasting memories.
A Company Tradition with Heart
Culture at Wilkins Group, Inc. isn’t built by accident — it’s cultivated with care and purpose. Our annual Family Day is one of the ways we honor the people who make our company thrive. It’s a chance to pause, celebrate, and remember that the heart of our success lies in the genuine relationships that form across our teams.
From the thrill of the Ferris wheel to the sweet taste of a deep-fried Twinkie, every laugh and every shared moment reflected who we are — a company that works hard, plays hard, and takes pride in being a family. These experiences remind us that while projects and deadlines matter, it’s our people who truly make the difference.
Making Memories Under the Texas Sky
As the sun began to set over the fairgrounds, the day wrapped up in a glow of orange and gold — and so did our hearts. Our feet might have been tired, but our spirits were light. The laughter, stories, and candid snapshots from this year’s celebration will keep us smiling long after the fair closes its gates.
When we said our goodbyes and looked back at Big Tex one last time, it was clear that Family Day is more than a company event — it’s a reflection of the culture and community that define Wilkins Group, Inc. It’s about people, connection, and the Texas-sized spirit that brings us all together.
Until next year, we’ll carry these memories with us — the laughter, the friendships, and the reminder that the best work comes from teams that care about one another, both inside and outside the office.
