All of us at Frause were so excited about starting a blog; we spent hours fighting over who would be responsible for the content. We drew straws, played rock paper scissors, even thumb wrestled for the honor. It turns out our interns have some strong thumbs (not to mention opinions). They also have the best opportunity to provide a “fly on the wall” look into the workings of Frause. Without further ado, we present Frause – through the eyes of our interns!

Whidbey Island BBQ


Last weekend, Frause employees and their family got together for a barbecue bash on Whidbey Island. Frause CEO and Whidbey resident Bob Frause, and his wife Sue, opened up their home to Frause employees for some fun in the sun on Saturday afternoon.

The Whidbey Island getaway is a summer tradition and one of the most highly anticipated Frause events of the year! E-mails were sent over the server for weeks as Frausties announced detailed descriptions of the scrumptious food they were bringing.

The day was spent savoring the sunny Northwest weather and indulging in the good eats. The potluck was a delicious success, including of course, the basic barbecue necessities (meat, beer and wine), and the plentiful popsicles and soda for the kids. The highlight of the day was definitely the Frause softball game. Man do we have some athletes at Frause!

The day trip was the perfect escape from city life and was a great way for Frause employees to spend some quality time together. Thanks to Bob and Sue for opening up their home and hosting an awesome party. I have already heard talk for next year’s barbecue extravaganza!
