The crayola factory (store)




On our way to Philadelphia we went to Scranton where "The Office" takes place. It is not filmed there so there wasn't much to do. But in the theme song they did film the Welcome to Scranton sign and many of the buildings but we couldn't find any of those. Sorry Office fans!
Next, we decided to go to the Crayola factory in Easton, Pennsylvania. It was in the middle of a street fair which probably would be fun if you're a local. We went inside but we came too late to see the museum. They did say we could check out the factory store. Inside you could fill a jar of crayons, buy merchandise and take a picture of the largest crayon in the world:

DOB: October 11, 2003
Color: Blue
Weight:1,500 pounds
Length:15 feet

They used 123,000 gathered from kids around the country to help break the current record. I got a can of crayons, a button and a T-shirt. Even though we didn't get to go to the museum it seemed like we did.
