Factory Five Customers Bearing Gifts are Always Welcome!

Mike, and his wife Justine, Souto visited us the other day from Wisconsin. They were here last year at this time as they visit friends in the area each year for Thanksgiving (we know the truth, they come to Factory Five each year and then visit friends in the area since they’re already here).

Mike is an airbrush artist and made a really cool eagle airbrush on a nice piece of leather for the crew here. The custom art is in our awards case and we appreciate the gift.
