About the LITDA Hall of Fame: The LITDA Hall of Fame is given to the individuals who have played a significant role in the growth and development of the Tire Industry and the Louisiana Independent Tire Dealers Association. The Hall of Fame Induction & Tailgate Reception will not only honor Bernstein, but will offer those in attendance an opportunity to network with others in the tire industry while enjoying cocktails and great local food.
