Donells Candy Shop

Today for our Wednesday Field Trip we went on a tour of a little candy shop that has been around for over 50 years. Our tour was scheduled for 1pm - right during Adele's nap time but there was no way I was going to miss a tour of a chocolate factory! It was started by a man named Don and his wife in 1956. He is still alive and runs the shop with his son, grand kids and great grand kids. They took us on a tour of the back where we watched Don making coconut clusters and got to see the chocolate stirring around in a huge drum. We also got to see the ice cream maker, the popcorn popper and watch them dump out a fresh batch of toffee. Of course we had to try out some candy and it was great. I think this is the kind of place we'll add to our list of places to take people when they come visit us (so you should come)!
