Announcing Our New Spring Getaway Mill Tour |
BLD Connection is excited to introduce the Spring Getaway Mill Tour, featuring mills and manufacturers within our membership region. Unlike the Fall Flyaway Tour, which explores destinations across the country, this new tour stays closer to home and blends professional insights with fun, culturally rich experiences. Along with learning from local industry leaders, you’ll get time to enjoy the character of each community we visit. |
What to expect:
- Mill and manufacturer visits in the Midwest and nearby states
- Conversations around regional trends and sustainable practices
- Time to explore local landmarks, eateries, and hidden gems
The first tour is set for Spring 2026. Stay tuned for more details! |
This is your chance to connect locally, learn together, and enjoy the best of our region. We hope you plan to join us! |
