August Golf Outing Recap

What a perfect day for the August golf outing!

With sunny skies and high spirits, the BIA Golf Tournament at Hawley Golf and Country Club was a fantastic success. All golfers competed for a chance to take home the BIA of the RRV Golf Tournament Champs trophy. The August 2026 tournament champions were Cody Mueller, Alex Hagman, Seth Morken and Kirk Carrow with PCL Construction.
