VanDevere Dip Off Contests

The VanDevere team loves to have healthy competitions with each other. One of our favorite contests is the annual Dip Off Contest!

This Contest allows any staff members to bring in their best dips for all employees to try and vote on their favorite. This year was the best turnout yet! Our Buick/Kia and Cadillac locations participated. Thank you for everyone who did participate. The votes were very close, but there can only be one winner for each store. Congratulations to:

Cadillac 1st: Taylora Eutz

Buick/Kia 1st: Cal Holbert
