It reminded me of a time years ago when I watched Mr. Rogers take a trip to the crayon factory. I have no idea if they still even make crayons in the states, but this video of that trip is still fun to watch. (I could listen to Mr. Rogers talk for hours. That man had a calming voice just perfect to make small children feel safe and important. We need more Mr. Rogers's in the world). Here's the video:
Have you ever taken a factory tour or watched someone recreate how things were once done at a historical reenactment?
Have a great day!
I have taken factory tours of the Ginger Factory. They process it into crystallized ginger & chocolate covered ginger & jams etc. It smelled divine & of course you have to stop yourself from buying everything in the gift shop. There are quite a few heritage centres around here with old time machinery etc. It is fascinating to watch horses being shod by a blacksmith, for example.

The Ginger factory sounds fantastic! I would love to see that (too bad it's on the other side of the world). There used to be a glass blower in the city. He ran a little shop and you could watch him work. That was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI taught Home Economics years ago and always showed my students a film on how Hershey's Kisses are made...it was always a much enjoyed classroom film...not so much others. I remember when I was a teenager I toured a meat packing plant in the St Paul, Minn area and saw how a pig went from being alive to being a package of bacon...of course I wanted to see it all...we could have started the tour after the pig was killed but you know how teenagers are....nowadays I wouldn't begin the tour at that point. It was an interesting tour.
ReplyDeleteJackie, now I have visions of Hershey's Kisses (and yes, I want to see how they're made, too). I can smell the chocolate, already (they may not have ever perfected Smellovision, but my mind will supply that little tidbit all on its own).
