Our group was treated to 2 wonderful tours at the Schwebel Baking Company in Cuyahoga Falls, Summit County, in January.
Again, another parent sent me her comments about the tour, and I'd like to share them with you.
Thanks, Laura!
"Oh those smells!!! Today we toured the Schwebels bread factory in Cuyahoga Falls. You could smell the fresh bread from the parking lot. The tour started with a short film on the great family history of the Schwebel family.
The tour guide then took us through the factory from dry ingredients to bagged bread. It was loud and aromatic. I really wanted to put my hands in the huge vats of dough. The tour ended with everyone receiving a fresh loaf of wonderful bread."
The tour is only recommended for children of school age and older, so under 6 years is not allowed. They also have strict rules about jewelry and items not allowed on the tour.
Be sure to get this information when scheduling your tour.
You can schedule your tour by calling (330) 929-9507. The tour is free, including the loaf of bread at the end.

Football Hall of Fame, Canton
In January, we had a group of students and parents spend a day learning about professional football, and specifically, the many ties to our NE Ohio area at the Professional Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Stark County.
One parent was kind enough to share her experience with me, so I'm sharing it here with you.
Thanks, Ileen!
"The field trip was great! The tour started with a speaker taking the group
to a meeting room & discussing the history of the football helmet. We
watched a short football "bloopers" video, that had everyone laughing. The
speaker also gave us several details about the Pro Football Hall of Fame,
historical facts & interesting statistics. He also had interactive
questions to get the students involved. This took up at least the 30 to 45
minutes, which was great. Then the students were given "The Investigative
Reporter", field trip questionnaires, to fill out. We had a great time
searching for the fun facts in the museum. The questionnaire included a map of the museum
to help us find our facts.
The boys had a blast & so did I! We would enjoy
going there anytime. We left the museum around 3:30 pm & probably could
have stayed longer, but we had other places to go."
If you are interested in scheduling your own fun field trip at the Hall of Fame, you can find

Giant Eagle - Amherst
A small group of field trippers had a treat at their local Giant Eagle store last December, and one of the moms was gracious enough to share her thoughts about the field trip. Thanks, Lynda!
"Just thought I'd let you know about our tour. Our "guide" Pat, Mrs. B. was
excellent. We had a small group, however, we had 3 younger (5-7yo) and 4 older kids (11-14).
The woman did a great job including all the kids in the information. Even the
moms thought it was a great field trip.
The children got "treats" that went
along with the different departments and food groups. We sampled celery,
apples, and a star fruit; a multi grain European bread that was yummy, fresh
from the bakery and was warm :) and a sample of shaved turkey lunchmeat and
American cheese. And at the end, we got a cookie and each child received a
goody bag. Oh yeah, they even were able to touch a live lobster! The
children enjoyed going behind the scenes in the Bakery, Meat department, and
the back room where the deliveries are unloaded and we even got to walk in
the various large freezers.
We were pleased with the amount of information and "freebies". I would
strongly suggest this fieldtrip."
