"Why Made in Portland Kicks Ass"
Grove will discuss the numerous benefits of local manufacturing, touching on the difficulties they've encountered in their mission to keep it local. Portland is known for it's strong DIY culture and artisan community, and Grove takes this spirit to the extreme by doing everything themselves. Joe and Ken will talk about how they transformed their idealistic vision into reality.

Come to this if you can. These guys don't play.
