What is this
BooneDoggle?

Established in 2017, BooneDoggle is Schaefer’s annual gathering—a little business, a little fun and a lot of time with good people.

The location, activities and traditions change from year to year, but the purpose has remained the same: step away from the work, gather together and enjoy the company we keep.

This year, the tradition comes home. Welcome to Backyard BooneDoggle 2026.

Good work. Good people. Good company.
