Memorial Potluck Lunch at Rada Mfg. Co.!

Potluck Day is a semi-annual event that all of Rada Cutlery’s employees look forward to in the spring and fall! Pictured above are the salad and dessert tables.

The 100 hard-working factory employees at Rada Mfg. Co. always look forward to this event – plus we get a little extra time off work to enjoy all the delicious food. Half of the employees furnish a dish in the spring and the other half bring a dish for the fall potluck. This sounds like a lot of food, but most of the time you take home an empty bowl or dish!

Steaks are almost done!
