We had a great time recently being visited by 18 five-year old boys and girls. Catherine’s twin nephews and their kindergarten class took a field trip to the Piedmont shop in April in honor of their theme that month —“how machines work.” Each child had a chance to see the inside of an engine, view a car being raised up on a lift, and watch a tire mounting machine in action, as well as experience some actual hands-on learning with a few tools. It was quite exciting for everyone involved — kids, parents, teachers, and our staff!
