Remember my favorite local snack?
Well, if your favorites are like mine - salty and of the Utz variety - make sure you head down to a special presentation at the Hanover library in a couple of week.
From our sister paper, the Evening Sun of Hanover:
Learn more about Utz products at a program on Utz Quality Foods to be held 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, in the John D. Bare Center at the Guthrie Memorial Library -- Hanover's Public Library.The program will include information on the company history, its growth over the years, the snack food industry and making a quality potato chip from "farm to your pantry." Tom Scholles, director of human resources at Utz Quality Foods, will be the presenter.
The program is free and open to the public.
For more information, visit guthrielibrary.org or call 632-5183.
And if you're down that-a-way anyway, why not check out the Utz outlet and the factory tour? The tours are free and self-guided, and can be done 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays at the factory on High Street. The outlet is a few streets over on Carlisle Street and is open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays to Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.
We took Sarah on the tour a few years ago and she really liked it. I'm hoping to do it again soon!
Joan--I did the factory tour just a few weeks ago. It's very nice and easy as it's self-guided. Free chips, too. Warning--there are stairs involved. Pant, pant. Not sure if there's a way around this.
Darn it, I'm coming up to York tomorrow, but I"m only staying a few days. I'll miss the presentation. With any luck, though, I can talk my mom into making a run out to Hanover so I can stock up at the source of all that is Utz. There's nothing like getting them fresh from the factory!
