Go behind the scenes to witness America's craftsmen make our favorite things

YORK, Pa., May 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Watch craftsmen hard at work as
over 20 companies welcome visitors behind the scenes and onto the production
floors. Whether your interest is hand-cut glass, legendary motorcycles, or
delicious potato chips, meet artisans responsible for some of America's
favorite products in the Factory Tour Capital of the World. Celebrate American
industry during the 10th annual Made in America Tours Event, June 18-21, 2008,
featuring more than 20 factory tours that exemplify American ingenuity. 

Made In America Tours offers you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how
everything from glassware to chocolate, potato chips, beer, wallpaper and much
more are formed into the finished products that line store shelves across the
country.

You're invited onto the production floors to discover how America's favorite
products are crafted including Harley-Davidson(R) motorcycles, Wolfgang Candy,
and Snyder's of Hanover pretzels. 

Discover the intricate art of glass cutting at Susquehanna Glass, a family
business that's been producing hand-cut glass since 1910. Susquehanna Glass
boasts high profile clients like Donald Trump and Oprah Winfrey, but don't
fret, their outlet offers high-end quality at discounted prices.

Let your senses soar with a trip to Wolfgang Candy, voted one of the "Top 5
Tasty Tours" by the Food Network. Don't forget to try a warm potato chip fresh
off the line at Martin's Potato Chips, the bipartisan snack aboard Air Force
One during both the George W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations.

Don't miss the National Watch and Clock Museum and the Historic Wallace-Cross
Mill, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today The
Wallace-Cross Mill stands as one of only a handful of working gristmills in
the country. Be sure to check out the York County Heritage Trust Agricultural
and Industrial Museum's newest exhibition Air, Land & Water: Transporting
People & Products in York County, which allows visitors the opportunity to
