The Hog Ring - Auto Upholstery Community - DLT Upholstery Supply Open House

As most of you already know, DLT Upholstery Supply is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year by hosting a fun and informative “Open House” on June 7 – 8 at its headquarters in Oak Lawn, IL.

The event will be jam-packed with informative presentations, vender displays, live music, tasty food and drinks, games, prizes, warehouse tours and much more!

Naseem and I will also be in attendance, so make sure you stop by and say hello. We’re really excited to be joining in the festivities and finally meeting members of The Hog Ring community in person!

That’s right, we’ll be around all day Saturday to network, chat, hang out and – of course – wish DLT a very happy anniversary. We’re even giving a presentation on how to make Facebook work for your auto upholstery shop.

    Sounds like a great event! Lots of very useful information and contacts to make. I wish I could be there, but alas, have to work the wife’s business that weekend. I hope there’s a great turn out, and I hope you post lots of photos! –Jim
