Show & Tell - Utz Factory

I was pretty lost on what to do for Show & Tell this week, but then I saw in my sidebar that today is the anniversary of the day the potato chip was invented.  LOL  And I never did post anything about our visits to the Utz potato chip factory in Hanover, PA.  Now, my disclaimer is this: you can't take pictures IN the tour area, of course, so I sure don't have much in the way of  the "Show" portion of Show & Tell. 

 

We regularly visit the Snyders and Utz factory stores in Hanover, but early this spring, I finally took the Utz tour.  It's actually a self-guided little tour where you walk through a gallery that overlooks the production areas and there are push-button audio explanations at each window.  Perfect for an impromptu stop while in Hanover, and for little kids with shorter attention spans.  Might mean that Mom doesn't get to hear the entire  explanation of how the potato peeling machine works, but it's better than trying to get a kid to zip their lip so everyone in the tour group can hear the tour guide's explanation while Mom still misses it because she's dealing with the kid.  Make sense?  Probably not.

 

So anyway, here's my grand total of TWO pictures of the Utz factory.  This is just inside the door, a display showing some of the original stuff from when the factory was opened:

 

And this is the homeschool group I went with back in March:

I'm not in that picture, but a couple of my kids are... somewhere...

 

I was just at the Utz factory again this past Monday, but they still won't let you take pictures in the gallery, so I just took another picture of the first one I posted here.  LOL

 

Show & Tell is hosted by Mary so if you go over to her blog you'll find links to many Show & Tells FAR more interesting than mine, I'm sure.
