Alpha Video was excited to host our annual Kick-Off event last Friday. We've typically held the event at downtown venues, but like most things these days, we had to change things up this year. The Zoom get-together started with the entire Alpha team cooking and creating craft cocktails. Alpha Video sent employees food and beverage kits with almost everything they needed to make a first-class meal at home.

On Saturday, January 23rd, Alpha Video hosted Cub Scout Pack 342 at our office in Eden Prairie. However, this Saturday was no ordinary monthly pack meeting. It was Pinewood Derby Day!

Cub Scouts across the country participate in building and racing their own cars made from blocks of pine wood, plastic wheels, and metal axles.
