Baxter Brewery and Tree Street Youth!

Last night I had YEA! Class again! :) The whole class met at the Chamber of Commerce office. As soon as everyone showed up, we hopped on a bus and went to Baxter Brewing. We met Mr. Luke Livingstone (owner and founder of the brewery) and he told us a bit about how he came about starting the brewery and then a couple of the students asked some good questions in which he answered very well. We couldn't get a tour because his employees were still brewing beer. :/ Mr. Livingstone said to come back when we turn 21.

After spending about an hour there, we hopped on the bus again and drove to Tree Street Youth! We met Julia Sleeper and a senior from bates (her name was Kim, I think?). Julia shared the story of how she started Tree Street Youth and then answer any of our questions. One of my classmates, Zoe, is really good at coming up with questions. :)

When we had spent about an hour there, we hopped on the bus and arrived back at the office. We quickly had bathroom breaks and got some snacks and began talking about our field trip. Mr. Morrison had us name the things that struck us or stuck out to us during the field trip. I was going to say the passion that both Luke and Julia had but Sahro beat me to it. :P

Mr. Morrison then had us go around and tell him and the class what our business ideas were. After we all listed off our business ideas, he asked each person a few questions about it. I had two business ideas. The first one was Event or Wedding Planning and the second one was photography. One of my classmates named Sam is interested in photography too, so that's kind of cool.

We turned in a sheet a paper with a few questions on it and then Mr. Morrison assigned us two small assignments and then we were dismissed. :)

When Dad, Mom, and I got home we watched The Wedding Planner. It was a really good and funny movie. :)
