DENVER — While most of the cameras will be fixated on Hillary Clinton at Adams City High School on Wednesday during a rally, one business in the Santa Fe Arts District is prepping for a special visit.
Clinton will make a stop at the Knotty Tie Co. in Denver on Wednesday afternoon. Clinton’s visit comes just days after she indirectly mentioned the company during her convention speech.
“What part of America first leads him to make Trump ties in China, not Colorado,” Clinton said.
“I didn’t expect anything like that to happen,” said Austin Allan, the manufacturing director of the Knotty Tie. “She is going to come in and take a tour to see how the manufacturing process works.”
Knotty Tie is unique in that it uses resettled refuges from developing countries to manufacture custom-made products. People like Mark, who is from Rwanda, are hoping for a picture on Wednesday.
“We need to take a picture with her. It would be real nice,” Mark said.
The Knotty Tie design team was busy Tuesday working on various scarf designs for the Democratic Party nominee. They plan on presenting them to her during her visit.
Custom made ties start at $45.
Clinton’s visit to the company at 926 W. 10th Ave. is scheduled for 1:15 p.m. and is closed to the public.
