Martins Potato Roll Factory in PA - yum!

Fun show this week for the good people of Franklin county. I met at the HQ for Franklin county first off, and right next door was the MARTIN’S POTATO ROLLS factory! YUM. I love those rolls! it brings back my memory of the tour I once got at the Little Debbie Snack Cake Factory in Arkansas (McKee Foods!). After peeling myself away from the factory, I headed over to Gettysburg for a very quick tour of a battlefield. I don’t know why they say the troops had such rugged terrain – there were PLENTY of paved roads. Okay, stupid joke – I did not use it in the show. But I did see plenty of Gettysburg addresses. . .. stupid joke #2.

One of the biggest “discussions” in Adams county (home of Gettysburg) is whether or not to BUILD A CASINO. I am not kidding. The guy who owns the Harley dealership apparently wants one – I THINK he owns part of a hotel there. You know, that’s what I remember my history books telling us – that our forefathers fought for our right to double down at black jack and shoot some craps.

I enjoyed the town and the people in Franklin county. . .their big issue in Franklin is where to put the courthouse – in the middle of town, or 2.5 blocks away! I think you walk farther in a Target store. And speaking of Target, the Target Distribution center won the award for best large business of the year. The center is massive. . they said it used 25 miles of concrete to build the store. . .

White tail ski resort won an award for small business of the year – I’ve skied Whitetail. It’s just like skiing in Denver. . .if Denver had ICE. But you know you aren’t really a skier until you’ve mastered ice – skiing.

The party was fun, the people were great, and most important of all – we got out in time to watch the Minnesota Vikings – New Orleans Saints game. I think N.O. won, but I fell asleep and then got on a plane so I’m not sure.

I’m home for the next week. . .yipee!

PS could we have the health experts please stop telling people to walk up and down the aisles during flights. Currently there are 2 kids with their parents walking/running up and down the aisle of my Southwest flight. This is annoying. It’s only 1 hour in and we’ve got 4 to go.o
