A local furniture maker has been invited to showcase his work in Washington D.C.
Owner of Ernest Thompson Furniture, Mike Godwin, received a special invite from the White House recently to attend the “Made in America” showcase.
The event celebrates each state’s effort and commitment to American-made goods.
Each year the event hosts one business from each of the 50 states.
Godwin says he will be taking the company’s signature hand-carved doors and plenty of photos to show off the rest of Ernest Thompson’s unique work.
