Earlier in the day I attended the Summer Sessions at the Design Center. It was very informative.

The first one was the "The History of Luxyry" a CEU Presentation SPONSORED BY BAKER KNAPP & TUBBS given by JIM CAUGHMANN, VP of Marketing for Kohler Hospitality Group.

And the second was in the Stark Carpet Show Room and it was about Rug Making Regions & History. It was given New York representative from Stark Carpet and Darius Antique Rugs and was very informative. They also served a great lunch!
