We do know one of Chase Van Buurensa国际传媒檚 two proposals on a recent trip east was accepted.

As for the other pitch, well, we have to wait until Nov. 25.

sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檝e always wanted to give it a go and this year was my first crack at it,sa国际传媒� said Van Buuren, 29, who applied online to appear on the Dragonssa国际传媒� Den show.

He passed the first qualifying stage, then appeared on a Zoom meeting with producers. He did a live demo from his shop and that was good enough to earn him a spot on the show taped in Toronto.

Limitless Manufacturing is an Okanagan-based CNC custom manufacturer specializing in unique, one of a kind accessories for a clientsa国际传媒檚 truck.

sa国际传媒淭here is nothing else like our products out there, and we love to see our sleek sled decks, headache racks, and running boards around town,sa国际传媒� said Van Buuren on his companysa国际传媒檚 website.

Due to obligations, Van Buuren is not allowed to say much about his appearance on the TV show until after it airs, which will be Thursday, Nov. 25.

sa国际传媒淚 can say we did some demos, including dropping a 2,000-pound block onto a truck, and we did get our company truck up to the 10th floor of the building where we did the taping,sa国际传媒� said Van Buuren. sa国际传媒淚 can say it all went well. It was a great experience. Wesa国际传媒檙e a small business and this experience was very confidence-building. It was great to get out there and do it.sa国际传媒�

Oh. That other proposal that was accepted?
