On July 23, Commonwealth employees and their families gathered at Lincoln Children’s Zoo for the 2026 Commonwealth Family Fun Fest. Hosted by the Culture Committee, the event brought together employees from the Lincoln office, field teams, and corporate office for an evening of connection, appreciation, and family fun.
Guests enjoyed exclusive access to the zoo from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with opportunities to explore exhibits, ride the zoo train, and experience many of the zoo’s most popular attractions—such as feeding giraffes, goats, and camels.
Families also gathered for dinner near Café 65, where they shared a meal and had the chance to catch up with coworkers from across the organization. The evening continued with a raffle and family photo booth, where attendees captured memories and entered for a chance to win door prizes.
The event reflected Commonwealth’s commitment to bringing employees and families together, strengthening relationships, and building a strong employee-owned culture. Thank you to the Culture Committee and everyone who helped make the evening a success.
