Sweet's Candy Factory Tour - FREE available through July 2013

It is easy to make a reservation...Monday - Thursday from 8:40am-3:30pm. They provide strollers if you need them & of course everyone gets to wear cutie hair nets. Each time we went the tour was slightly different but there were always samples as we went through & they usually gave the group a treat at the end too.
So if you are looking for some free family fun...go to their website & sign up for a tour. They are not doing tours from July 22-Oct 31st this year so go soon!
