The Hettema Group

We are blown away by how our #HettemaHouseParty guests have been customizing their vehicles! Check out more of their awesome creativity as we continue the celebration this week.

With the cancellation of in-person IAAPA this year, The Hettema Group lost our most cherished event our annual party! To compensate, we designed and sent out these cardboard construction kits that allowed our guests to attend a virtual party a ride through a fantasy version of the THG offices in Pasadena. Here are just a few examples of how our friends and colleagues have been customizing their creations! #hettemahouseparty

Thank you to Smart Monkeys, Inc for sharing their Hettema House Party Ride Vehicle.
