    Happy Fall Y'all! Last week, our headquarters parking lot was filled with festive items thanks to a local farm. Pumpkins, hay bales, and fall flowers transformed our parking lot, welcoming the season in style. This initiative not only brought a touch of autumn to our workplace but also supported a local farmer. Our team enjoyed the convenience of sprucing up their homes for the cooler weather and celebrations ahead of us. Here's to a wonderful fall season for all! #happyfall #pumpkinseason #celebrate #deltadefense #uscca
