Utz Factory Tour

We went to Utz Potato Chip Factory in Hanover, Pennsylvania today for a tour. My friend Kim was taking her children there so we decided to join her! Kim takes her children on a factory tour every year....what a cool idea! The tour was extra special because Bryce and Landon were able to share it with Matt, Jess and Kim. In this picture, Bryce is admiring all of the products produced by Utz Foods.

The boys loved watching the process of turning a potato into a chip. When we first arrived, there was a trailor filled with potatoes. We were able to follow each step in the production process from the potato in the truck to the filled bag of chips being loaded into boxes then going to a warehouse. Bryce could hardly contain himself - that's how excited he was!

After the tour, we sat down and ate our complimentary bag of Utz potato chips. (They were yummy!) I think I may borrow Kim's idea and take the kids on a different factory tour every year. York and the surrounding area is over flowing with factories so we won't have any problems find a new place to visit each year.
