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.
