AccruePartners kicked off this fall with a chili cook-off and pumpkin carving contest. What better way to celebrate the cooler weather than with carbs and crafts?

Each division competed against each other for the chance to take home the name as the “Chili Champs.” After a lengthy taste test which included 10 chilis, our Human Resources and Alternative Investments divisions landed in first place with their “4 Meats Chili” recipe.

Following the chili cook-off, divisions then participated in pumpkin carving that proved to be much more difficult than most had expected. From Donald Trump, to a new place to keep your beer cool, our teams got creative. We quickly learned we have some artists in the office! All in all, we all had a great time stepping away from our desks to spend some time together competing and having fun just in time for the weekend!
