Phillip proudly pumps his bat trophy in the air.

This weekend, BAT celebrated the past year with our annual Christmas party. But, this year was different- it was the first year we celebrated our team members with an awards ceremony called the Battys.

The highlights were:

• Stephen Sinclair winning three awards- Biggest Weasel (for weaseling his way out of things), Biggest Brown Nose and Worst Timing.
• Phillip Kinsey getting three “trophies” for his award, the Phil in the Blank Award.
• Joe Kier and Steve Barnes winning Funniest in the Office.
• Maureen Shea winning the award for Biggest Breakfast Bill.
• Marissa Hough winning the Tree Hugger Award.

The party was held at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, Neb. We got to try out a flight simulator and check out the exhibits at the museum. For musical entertainment, Smoke ‘n Guns came all the way from Nashville, Tenn. to perform.
