On Oct. 10, Senior Box Office members took a tour of Checkerspot Brewing Company, owned by head brewer Judy Neff and her husband Rob Neff. The group learned that Checkerspot got its name from the Maryland state butterfly. The history of the brewery was provided by Tom Neff, father and father-in-law of the owners. The making of the beer was explained by assistant brewer Ian, whose knowledge of the process was detailed and informative. Many of the SBO participants enjoyed lunch and tastings of the beers offered.

On Oct. 10, members enjoyed touring Second Chance, a nonprofit in Baltimore City that provides people, materials and the environment with a second chance. They salvage usable materials and other donated items and make them available to the public for reuse at their more than 450,000-square-foot retail space across two locations. With the revenue generated, they provide job training and workforce development for those with employment obstacles in the Baltimore region. The tour of their warehouse (from Lottie) was filled with everything from exercise equipment, lumber, furniture, appliances, windows and so much more! Makes a perfect donation location for those who are downsizing.

Tim Newby, author of "The Original Louisville Slugger: The Life and Forgotten Times of Baseball Legend Pete Browning," was our August speaker at Senior Box Office. Browning won three batting titles, finished in the top three nine times and was one of the pre-modern era’s greatest hitters. But he also led a life littered with eccentricities. Attendees enjoyed baseball fare of peanuts, popcorn and candy while learning about the many accomplishments of this larger-than-life figure.

SBO members got an up-close-and-personal tour "From Cow to Cone" of the Prigel Family Creamery in Glen Arm. The Prigel siblings spoke with the group about the family farm history before heading out to the pasture. Attendees learned that the creamery offers more than ice cream, including milk, cheese and grass-fed beef. Matt takes care of the approximately 150 cows that graze the pastures. The tour ended in the ice cream processing room with a sampling of the product.
