SCTA 2025 Holiday Party at Stone Brewing: A Night of Community, Celebration & Holiday Cheer

Our SCTA Annual Holiday Party, held Tuesday, December 2nd at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Garden, was a festive success—bringing together members from across the association for an evening of great company, great food, and meaningful conversations. The turnout was fantastic, and the energy reflected the strength of the SCTA community.


A Holiday Gift Exchange to Remember

One of the highlights of the evening was once again our lively Gift Exchange. As always, it sparked plenty of laughter, friendly “gift stealing,” and good-natured competition as members tried their luck at holding onto their favorite finds. The Cohnac and the pies were unexpected crowd favorites—true holiday delicacies that added a delicious twist to the festivities.


Thank You to Our Event Sponsors

We extend our gratitude to this year’s holiday sponsors:
Zack Smith Plumbing • Structa Wire • Solara • Leonard Roofing • Davidson Reinforcing
Your support plays a vital role in the quality and impact of our events.


Recognizing Our Holiday Events Committee

A special acknowledgment to our dedicated SCTA Holiday Events Committee—
Stacie Greene • Lola Wilson • Valerie Shultz • Brittany Ebner
for their commitment and creativity in organizing a memorable celebration.


Why SCTA Events Matter

Whether it’s our monthly in-person meetings, our annual Meet the Trades, or the Holiday Party, SCTA gatherings do more than bring people together—they build real relationships.

One powerful example:
A member recently lost his job, and another SCTA member hired him. They later shared how well it was working out—proof that SCTA isn’t just an association; it’s a community that supports one another.

We’re growing, and we want you to grow with us.
Become involved. Join a committee. Attend our events. Share your ideas for expanding the SCTA in 2026.
Together, we can strengthen our association and create more opportunities for our members.

Happy Holidays from SCTA—and here’s to a prosperous New Year!
