Emmy and Grandpa Dean at their first kids workshop!
It’s hard to believe that 20 years ago today that my son Joey and niece Heather attended their very first Home Depot Kids Workshop and each built a toolbox and a bird house. They insisted that we buy paint and supplies and paint them when we got home. These days Joey is a GT graduate in computer engineering with the startup Haste.net and Heather is working with us on the design and marketing team working on future Kids Workshop projects and other exciting items for Home Depot. Now 20 years later Dean is attending with his grand daughter Emmy. Talk about a special moment. I can’t wait to take my grandson Michael next year!
If you have not experienced Kids Workshop it’s held the first Saturday of every month between 9 am and noon. Kids will build a wooden project kit, get a kid size Home Depot Apron, a certificate and merit pin. They will also have all the supplies to paint it at the Workshop.
It’s so funny because I have a Home Depot model airplane I built when I was a kid sitting in my lake house bedroom!
Hard to believe that the 20 years went by with a blink
