The America Wins with Trade Bus Tour rolled into the Bluegrass state of Kentucky. While they haven’t had rain in over two months – they got rain today. We arrived at Thiel Audio – a U.S. producer of high performance loudspeakers – to a warm southern welcome from their employees. Kathy Gornik, president of Thiel was unable to greet us but her staff did the company proud in its preparation and execution of the event.

Thiel employees warmly welcome the bus and what it represents.

David Adams from the Bluegrass Institute, Andy Hightower from the Kentucky Club for Growth, and Stephen Claeys, deputy assistant secretary, Import Administration joined CEA to send the message for free trade. We were treated to a tour of Thiel’s amazing production facility and a demonstration of some great music.

We then boarded the bus headed to Nashville – home of country music (Yay!) for the final stop on the tour.
