Happy Thanksgiving from the C.A. Lawton Co.

This Thanksgiving and holiday season, we reflect on all the people and things we are thankful for. At The C.A. Lawton Co., we are always thankful for our hard-working and caring employees that make Lawton the family it is today. We appreciate all members of our team, their safety, and their contributions to the continuous improvement of Lawton.

As we find ourselves becoming busier, we ask that you take a moment to step back, slow down, and show gratitude for all of the goodness in our lives. Especially in these unpredictable times, it is important to realize the small things in life that fulfill us. This Thanksgiving season, we ask that you enjoy making memories, spending time with your loved ones, and eating great food.

Speaking of delicious food, a few Lawton employees kindly shared their favorite recipes that are family favorites at Thanksgiving.
